The mission of the Alberta Geomatics Historical Society is to collect and preserve the history of land surveying in Alberta and to share the history in ways that stimulate and educate.
From the early surveyors and map makers such as David Thompson, to the survey of First Nation lands and Metis settlements, the survey grid of townships, surveys for resource development, to modern day spatial reference systems such as GPS and GIS surveyors have and continue to play an integral part in the economic and social development of Alberta.
