Journals are the permanent official record of the proceedings of the Legislative Assembly and comprise the Votes and Proceedings of each session.
Unlike Alberta Hansard, which provides a record of what was said in the Assembly, the Journals are similar to the minutes of a meeting and provide a record of what was done in the Assembly.
The database is a searchable catalogue that provides the record of assembly business for each session of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from the Fifth Session of the 14th Legislature (1963) to the present. The appendices contain information such
as a listing of all sessional papers, written questions, motions for returns, bills and committee of supply business. The appendices were discontinued in 2019 starting with the Journals of the First Session of the 30th Legislature. The index lists the
items that appear in the Journals along with the corresponding page numbers.
A complete digital archive of the Journals dating back to 1906 can be accessed through the Legislature Library at librarysearch.assembly.ab.ca.
