Administrative history
The Edmonton Society for Urban and Architecture Studies (ESUAS) was founded in the 1980s. The ESUAS’ objectives were to foster and develop an appreciation and understanding for design in urban and architecture settings through teaching, sharing and working. The ESUAS offered workshops, lectures, and exhibitions in order to achieve their objective. One of their most popular offerings was their annual Architecture Lecture Series. Architects and designers, both Canadian and international, would give free public lectures in Edmonton. In 1999/2000 the ESUAS conducted the Alberta Architecture Project and the creation of an Alberta Architectural Dictionary.
The ESUAS became an incorporated non-profit society in 1988 and a registered charitable organization in 1991. As of 2006 the ESUAS was defunct.
Custodial history
Dorothy Field was the President of the Edmonton Society of Urban and Architecture Studies.
