Dr. Robert R. Janes Award

We are honoured to be the winner of the Alberta Museums Association's Dr. Robert R. Janes Award for Social Sustainability in 2025. This award is designed to recognize, support, and further the work of museums that are solving community issues and promoting health and well-being. Together with the AMA, our ambitious goal is to create vibrant and sustainable communities by investing in programs that effect real social and environmental change, and which have the potential to create public benefit on a larger scale.

OUR STORY

The Millet and District Historical Society was registered as a Society on February 25, 1977, to write the Tales & Trails local history book. We became a charity in 1985 when the Millet and District Museum and Exhibit Room opened. It's purpose was to: maintain, preserve, further develop and expand Millet's cultural resources and to ensure them for future generations by operating the Millet and District Museum. The museum is in the service of society and of it's development, and open to the public which acquires, conserves researches, communicates and exhibits, for purposes of study, education and enjoyment, material evidence of Millet and thirteen surrounding school district's people and their environment. The Society operates the Millet Archives within the Museum.

We are an Alberta Museums Association Recognized Museum in the Leader Category (2025-2033) & an Archives Society of Alberta accredited institutional archive.
