Where can I get access to old Alberta newspapers? (supermeter.social)

Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody knew where I could access to some old newspapers based in Alberta. I've been working on expanding information about the Calgary music scene in MusicBrainz, and I've been getting to a point where finding information on some bands online has been a pain with some having next to no information online.

Thanks for any help in advance!

It's been a long time since I lived in a major centre, but I remember there being "reference desks" at main branches that could basically help you find anything. Sometimes materials or copies could be brought in, but it was often necessary to travel to where it was kept.
