It is unlike historical societies in many parts of the United States, which are typically affiliated with—and funded by—a state government. Anyone can <a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/membership.shtml">become an MHS member</a>.</p> <p>As a registered Canadian Charitable Organization, the MHS welcomes and encourages donations; they are a major means by which the costs of our activities are supported, including our magazine <em><a href="https://mhs.ca/prairie-history/">Prairie History</a></em> and our comprehensive website that now comprises over 27,000 pages.</p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"><div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color wp-element-button" href="https://mhs.ca/get-involved/donate/" style="border-radius:0px">DONATE</a></div></div> <p>The MHS holds fast to the mandate of our founders, continuing their legacy of preservation, promotion, research, and education. Our <a href="https://mhs.ca/honours-awards/">award programs</a> recognize the works of Manitoba youth, and the many farms, businesses, and organizations that have operated continuously for 100 years or more. We are advocates for preserving our province’s built heritage. We present field trips throughout our province, host films and lectures, and organize multicultural events where Manitobans can share their rich past.</p> <p>Over time, the MHS amassed impressive collections of books and artefacts which became the basis of today’s <a href="https://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/archives/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Archives of Manitoba</a>, <a href="https://wpl.winnipeg.ca/library/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Winnipeg Public Library</a>, and <a href="https://manitobamuseum.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manitoba Museum</a>.</p></div></div></div> <div class="wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-2 kt-pane_5f32fd-c0"><div class="kt-accordion-header-wrap"><button class="kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show"><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap"><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-title">How to become a member of the Manitoba Historical Society</span></span><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger"></span></button></div><div class="kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden"><div class="kt-accordion-panel-inner"><div class="wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"><div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color wp-element-button" href="https://mhs.ca/get-involved/become-a-member/" style="border-radius:0px">BECOME A MEMBER</a></div></div></div></div></div> <div class="wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-3 kt-pane_7d3810-ec"><div class="kt-accordion-header-wrap"><button class="kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show"><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap"><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-title">Where is the Manitoba Historical Society located?</span></span><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger"></span></button></div><div class="kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden"><div class="kt-accordion-panel-inner"><p>710A – 1 Lombard Place<br>Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada<br>R3B 0X3</p> <p>Telephone: 204-947-0559<br>Email: <a href="mailto:info@mhs.mb.ca">info@mhs.mb.ca</a></p> <p>Website inquiries: <a href="mailto:webmaster@mhs.mb.ca">webmaster@mhs.mb.ca</a></p> <p>Monday to Friday<br>9:00 AM to 5:00 PM</p> <p>Our office is open to the public by appointment.

Even long-time members may not know about all of the things we do. The many benefits are listed below, grouped into four general categories: awards, publications, programs, and museums.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Awards</h2> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/awards/farm.shtml">Centennial Farm</a> – This program was initiated by the MHS in 1980 to recognize farms which have been operated continuously for 100 years or more by a single family. To date, over 1,200 farms have been so designated throughout southern Manitoba. Recipient families receive a plaque or certificate, usually at a formal presentation ceremony. A separate Century Farm program of the provincial government provides signs which recipient families post at their farm gate.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/awards/business.shtml">Centennial Business</a> – In 1999, the MHS initiated the Manitoba Centennial Business Awards to recognize businesses that have operated continuously in the province for over 100 years. Changes in business location and ownership are permitted. Recipient businesses, of which there have been 52 so far, are presented with a commemorative plaque at the annual Macdonald Dinner or at an event sponsored by the recipient.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/awards/organization.shtml">Centennial Organization</a> – This program was started in 2004 as part of the MHS’s 125th anniversary celebrations. It commemorates 100 years of continuous operation by non-profit organizations, clubs, congregations, and associations in the areas of culture, economic development, education, health, heritage, labour, politics, recreation and sport, religion, and social reform. Twenty-six awards have been made to date, usually at an annual awards ceremony.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/awards/mcwilliams.shtml">Margaret McWilliams</a> – This award was instituted in 1955 as a memorial to Margaret S. McWilliams, a well-known Manitoba author, by her husband, former Lieutenant-Governor Roland F. McWilliams. Its purpose is to encourage the study and interpretation of the history of Manitoba. Certificates are presented at an annual awards ceremony to authors of scholarly books, popular books, works of historical fiction, local histories, institutional histories, essays, theses, displays, videos, and web sites.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/awards/young.shtml">Young Historians</a> – This award program is open to all school children in the province to encourage them in producing essays, posters, models, and videos on themes from Manitoba history. Thirty-three awards were made at our most recent annual ceremony. The winner of the Dr. Edward Shaw Award (named in honour of the late MHS President and historian) for the best senior essay has their work published in our journal, Manitoba History.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/awards/kemp.shtml">Douglas Kemp</a> – This award was inaugurated in 1988 to recognize exceptional service in the promotion and preservation of Manitoba’s heritage, usually by an MHS member. It commemorates the late MHS President. This award is typically presented at the Annual General Meeting.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/awards/bell.shtml">Charles Bell</a> – This award was initiated in 2004 to recognize the student with the highest standing in the introductory course History of Canada (11.144) at the University of Manitoba. The award commemorates the life and work of Charles Napier Bell, who was President of the MHS from 1889 to 1891 and again from 1913 to 1929.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Publications</h2> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/pubs/timelines/index.shtml">Time Lines newsletter</a> – The newsletter, and its predecessor <a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/pubs/keywords/index.shtml"><em>Keywords</em></a>, is published every two months. It reports on MHS activities, advertises upcoming events and museum developments, and informs members about heritage news around the province and elsewhere.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/pubs/mb_history/index.shtml">Manitoba History journal</a> – <em>Manitoba History</em> is a peer-reviewed journal which has been published since 1980. It is the only journal devoted to the history of Manitoba and it contains well researched, scholarly articles as well as articles of general interest, book reviews, advertisements, and an annual bibliography. Originally published twice a year, its publication frequency increased to three times a year in 2005.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/index.html">Web site</a> – Originally developed in the late 1990s to provide basic information about the MHS, the web site was re-launched in 2002 with the full content of MHS publications (Transactions, Manitoba Pageant, back issues of Manitoba History, Keywords, Time Lines). It also contains unique documents and articles, biographies, lists of award recipients, and information about the MHS museums.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/library.shtml">Reference library</a> – The Edwin Nix Memorial Library located in the MHS office was designated in 2004 in honour of the <a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/people/nix_ec.shtml">late MHS member</a>. It contains collection of books, journals, newsletters, local histories, and pamphlets relating to the general theme of Manitoba history.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Programs</h2> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/news/macdonald_dinner.shtml">Sir John A. Macdonald Dinner</a> – This event is held each year on the Saturday closest to January 11, nationally designated as Sir John A. Macdonald Day, the birthday of Canada’s first Prime Minister. It is the Society’s primary fundraiser of the year. Recent dinners have featured speakers such as the Honourable John Crosbie, Rex Murphy, Mel Hurtig, Phil Fontaine, Jamie Brown, Judge Murray Sinclair, Jake MacDonald, and the Honourable John N. Turner. In 2006, we featured entertainer Mike Ford.</p> <p><strong>Multicultural Dinner</strong> – This annual events highlights the ethnic diversity of Manitoba. Each dinner features a particular group, including its indigenous foods and beverages, and accompanied by a presentation on its activities in Manitoba. Recent dinners have been held at the Centro Caboto, the Icelandic Club, St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, the Czech and Slovak Association, the St. John’s Cathedral, and the Winnipeg Chilean Association Hall.</p> <p><strong>Film Night</strong> – This event, a collaboration between the MHS and the Archives of Manitoba (and, most recently, the CBC), has been held annually since 1997. It highlights archival film footage held at the Archives and has incorporated guest speakers and noted specialists. Its role is to increase public awareness in the holdings of the provincial archives.</p> <p><strong>Field Trips</strong> – The MHS operates guided historic bus tours to various sites in the region. Recent field trips have included stops at Wawanesa’s Sipiweske Museum, the Archibald Museum near La Rivière, the Inglis grain elevators, the Royal Canadian Artillery Museum in Shilo, and the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum in Brandon. The MHS has prepared walking tour guides of Tuxedo, Crescentwood, Wolseley, and Point Douglas neighbourhoods in Winnipeg.</p> <p><strong>Annual General Meetings</strong> – The appointment of MHS officers, adoption of constitutional revisions, and major decisions requiring membership approval are transacted at the AGM, held alternately in Winnipeg and rural communities. The event is usually accompanied by a presentation or an historical tour.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/committees.shtml">Committees</a> – The MHS’s standing committees address topics of specific interest. Some committees are responsible for research, planning, and presentation of awards, or operation of museums. Others are more wide-ranging in their terms of reference. At present, committees include: Centennial Business, Centennial Farm, Centennial Organization, McWilliams, Young Historians, Field Trip, Finance, Publications, Membership, Program, Macdonald Dinner, Historic Preservation, Heritage Trust, Dalnavert Museum Management, and Ross House Management.</p> <p><strong>Conferences</strong> – Our history conference is held periodically to enable students and amateur historians as well as professionals to present papers on their current research. In 2005, we sponsored the Second Annual Fort Garry Lectures in History that was organized by graduate students at the University of Manitoba.</p> <p><strong>Presentations</strong> – The Program Committee, often in collaboration with other MHS committees and external groups, organizes oral presentations on a range of topics. In 2005, presentations were made on Winnipeg’s early hotels by Bruce Cherney, and its rock music history by John Einarson, among others. We also inaugurated a series of public lectures in our Dalnavert Visitors Centre.</p> <p><strong>Representation</strong> – The MHS appoints a representative to provide input to several external groups, such as the City of Winnipeg Historic Buildings Committee, which advises on significant architectural features around the city. Our representative on the Winnipeg Real Estate Board’s Citizen’s Walk of Fame proposes nominees in an historical category, for whom a brass bust is unveiled annually in Assiniboine Park. We are represented on the Board of Heritage Winnipeg, which considers heritage matters in Winnipeg.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/affiliates.shtml">Affiliated societies</a> – The MHS’s mandate includes assistance in the formation and work of local historical societies in furthering the objectives of the Society throughout Manitoba. Any local, regional, national, or international group which endorses the objectives of the MHS is invited to become an affiliated society with a view toward facilitating intercommunication and mutual enrichment.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Museum</h2> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/museums/ross/index.shtml">Ross House</a> – This log house, site of the first post office in western Canada, was built in 1852 by William Ross. It has been moved twice and is now located in Joe Zuken Heritage Park, in Winnipeg’s Point Douglas neighborhood. The Ross House Museum is owned by the City of Winnipeg, and operated by the MHS. The Society is responsible for the collection and display of artifacts, and it provides museum staff. Ross House is open during summer months.</p></div></div></div> <div class="wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-15 kt-pane_9b1acc-32"><div class="kt-accordion-header-wrap"><button class="kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show"><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap"><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-title">The history of the MHS</span></span><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger"></span></button></div><div class="kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden"><div class="kt-accordion-panel-inner"><p>Manitoba Organization: <a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/organization/manitobahistoricalsociety.shtml">Manitoba Scientific and Historical Society / Manitoba Historical Society</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/mb_history/04/centennial.shtml">The Manitoba Historical Society: A Centennial History</a> <em>by</em> <a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/people/friesen_ga.shtml">Gerald Friesen</a><br>This article was originally published in <a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/pubs/mb_history/index.shtml">Manitoba History</a> in 1982 to mark the centennial of the Society’s founding, in 1879.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/pageant/24/firsthalfcentury.shtml">The First Half Century: A Sketch of the Early Years of the Historical and Scientific Society of Manitoba</a> <em>by</em> <a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/people/stewart_da.shtml">David A.

Unfortunately, only a small fraction have had that story told. If you would like to learn more about your Manitoba home, including when it was built and who lived in it in the past, here are a few leads.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="winnipeg">Winnipeg</h2> <p>In 1978, <a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/people/gibbons_l.shtml">Lillian Gibbons</a>, a long-time reporter for the <em><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/business/tribune.shtml">Winnipeg Tribune</a></em>, published a book entitled <em>Stories Houses Tell</em> in which she related the stories of some 300 houses around Winnipeg. Copies of her book are still available through antiquarian bookstores and in local libraries.</p> <p>A few Winnipeg houses that have been researched by the Manitoba Historical Society as the <a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/addresses/index.shtml">residence of a noteworthy Manitoban are listed here</a>.</p> <p>Here are some ways to learn the history of other Winnipeg houses.</p> <p><strong>Tax Assessment Records</strong> – The <a href="http://www.winnipegassessment.com/AsmtTax/English/Propertydetails/default.stm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">City of Winnipeg has a tax assessment database</a> where you enter the street name and number. It tells you a number of details about the house, including the year that it was built. Be careful in reading too much into such records. According to the City, the <a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/sites/fouldshouse1.shtml">Foulds House on Palmerston Avenue in Wolseley</a> was built in 1911. Historical research confirms it was actually built in 1872.</p> <p><strong>Other City Records, including Building Permits</strong> – The <a href="https://legacy.winnipeg.ca/clerks/toc/archives.stm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">City of Winnipeg Archives</a> contains records on building tax assessments, blueprints, and building permits for numerous structures around the city, going back to the 1870s. The documents for your home may be among their holdings.</p> <p><strong>Henderson Directories</strong> – The <em>Henderson’s Directory</em> contains listings, by street address, of the primary householder, their spouse’s name, and their occupation. The directory was updated annually, and paper copies from 1880 to 2000 are available at the Legislative Library of Manitoba and the Millennium Library. Some volumes have been digitized and are available on the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://peel.library.ualberta.ca/bibliography/921.html" target="_blank">website of the University of Alberta</a>. By tracing an address’ listing in each directory, it may be possible to reconstruct the chronology of occupation of a house.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="brandon">Brandon</h2> <p>There is a <a href="http://peel.library.ualberta.ca/bibliography/3176.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Henderson directory for Brandon available online at the University of Alberta</a>, covering the period from 1906 to 1955 (with a few missing years). The City of Brandon has tax assessment rolls archived in the basement of its City Hall.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="elsewhere">Elsewhere</h2> <p>Every municipality is required by law to maintain tax assessments records back to the incorporation of the municipality. The Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie, for example, has a wonderful collection of tax rolls in its municipal office in Portage la Prairie.</p> <p>Another source of information for rural Manitoba are aerial photographs at the <a href="http://www.canadamapsales.com/en/catalogue/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manitoba Air Photo Library</a> in Winnipeg.</p></div></div></div> <div class="wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-17 kt-pane_68584c-7a"><div class="kt-accordion-header-wrap"><button class="kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show"><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap"><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-title">History of Winnipeg street names</span></span><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger"></span></button></div><div class="kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden"><div class="kt-accordion-panel-inner"><p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/winnipegstreets/index.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">History in Winnipeg Street Names</a></p> <p><em>The Streets of Winnipeg</em> by <a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/people/hislop_m.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mary Hislop</a>, Winnipeg, 1912</p></div></div></div> <div class="wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-18 kt-pane_94e1b9-53"><div class="kt-accordion-header-wrap"><button class="kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show"><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap"><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-title">History of Manitoba town names</span></span><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger"></span></button></div><div class="kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden"><div class="kt-accordion-panel-inner"><p><a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/municipalities/index.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manitoba Communities</a></p></div></div></div> <div class="wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-19 kt-pane_fbedf1-cd"><div class="kt-accordion-header-wrap"><button class="kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show"><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap"><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-title">MHS and preservation of Manitoba’s historical landmarks</span></span><span class="kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger"></span></button></div><div class="kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden"><div class="kt-accordion-panel-inner"><p>Since its incorporation in 1879, the Manitoba Historical Society has had a concern for the built heritage of this province.</p> <p>In the early 1880s, the original Fort Garry was demolished in order to allow Main Street to run straight to the bridge spanning the Assiniboine River near The Forks. The north gate of the old fort stands today because of actions of MHS members.

For example, the number 582-8264 was called Justice-2-8264.</em></p> <p>By going through old Winnipeg telephone books at the <a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/info/links/legislative.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manitoba Legislative Library</a>, we determined that named telephone exchanges were introduced in the city in 1954 and were phased in over a couple of years, replacing six-digit phone numbers consisting of a two-digit number followed by a four-digit number (e.g., 44-4625). These new numbers consisted of a two-character exchange name, followed by one digit, followed by four digits. In other words, it was, in effect, the same system as we have today except that letters substituted for the first two digits.</p> <p>Names of telephone exchanges used in Winnipeg included: Alpine, Castle, Cedar, Chapel, Edison, Globe, Grover, Hudson, Justice, Lennox, Spruce, Sunset, Turner, Vernon, and Whitehall.</p> <p>The use of named exchanges was relatively short-lived. They began to be phased out in 1963 and were completely gone by 1967, replaced by a system referred to as All Number Calling or ANC. The reason given for the change was that “The telephone industry’s continued rapid growth and the introduction of new services such as Direct Distance Dialing have led to a shortage of suitable exchange names. ANC will make available the necessary codes to meet the telephone needs of a growing population and future telephone development.” [1966 Winnipeg telephone directory]</p> <p>In 2012, with the number of telephone lines increasing dramatically as a result of the widespread use of cellular telephones, Manitoba telephones began using a mandatory ten-digit number in which the former seven-digit number was preceded by the area code 204 for earlier lines or 431 for later ones.</p> <p><strong>See also:</strong> MHS Centennial Business: <a href="http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/business/mts.shtml">Manitoba Government Telephones / Manitoba Telephone System / MTS Allstream / Bell MTS</a></p> <p><strong>Sources:</strong> We thank Colleen Armstrong for providing additional information used here.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div> <div class="wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column_4ec94e-5a kb-section-has-overlay inner-column-2 overlay-background-full-right"><div class="kt-inside-inner-col"><p>For help in answering your questions on Manitoba History, you can email us or post a question on the MHS Facebook group which has hundreds of keen and knowledgeable members.</p> <div class="wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"><div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color wp-element-button" href="mailto:questions@mhs.mb.ca" style="border-radius:0px">EMAIL US</a></div> <div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color wp-element-button" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/manitobahistory" style="border-radius:0px" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MHS FACEBOOK</a></div></div></div></div> </div></div> </div> </article> </main> </div> <div style="display: none;"> <div id="member_prompt"> <style>#kt-layout-id_acfb3e-86 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_acfb3e-86 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_acfb3e-86 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var( --global-kb-row-default-top, 25px );padding-bottom:var( --global-kb-row-default-bottom, 25px );padding-top:50px;padding-bottom:50px;padding-left:50px;padding-right:50px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}#kt-layout-id_acfb3e-86 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_acfb3e-86 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_acfb3e-86 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}</style> <div class="wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone"><div id="kt-layout-id_acfb3e-86" class="kt-row-layout-inner kt-row-has-bg kt-layout-id_acfb3e-86 has-background-clay-green-background-color"><div class="kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-gutter-default kt-v-gutter-default kt-row-valign-top kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-m-colapse-left-to-right kt-mobile-layout-row"><style>.kadence-column_db235e-02 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_db235e-02 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_db235e-02 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_db235e-02 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_db235e-02 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_db235e-02 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_db235e-02 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_db235e-02{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_db235e-02 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_db235e-02 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}</style> <div class="wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_db235e-02"><div class="kt-inside-inner-col"><h2 class="wp-block-heading">Member Access Only</h2> <p>An active Digital Membership Subscription or Single Issue purchase is needed to view Prairie History issues.
