Edmonton's Social Research Directory
July 2011

The Edmonton Social Planning Council began publishing the Social Research Directory in the 1980s. This guide was created to provide information about library collections of use to social researchers. While the ESPC hoped to update the Directory biannually, publication halted in 1989. We believe that this is a valuable resource for the social research community. The Social Research Directory was resurrected in 2010 and has been updated and expanded in 2011.
