The work of organizing this exhibition began in 2014 when Carlene Slobodian worked with Linda Quirk and Alicia Odeen during her practicum in Bruce Peel Special Collections as part of her program at the University of Alberta's School of Library and Information Studies. Linda Quirk worked with graduate student employees to expand the exhibition and add annual updates until Michaela Stang took over responsibility for ongoing updates in 2023.
