	abstract = {The Landing Trail was a Hudson{\textquoteright}s Bay Company supply route used between metropolitan Edmonton and frontier Athabasca during the late nineteenth century. This article begins with the rediscovery of the trail in 1950s Alberta and analyzes its diverse archival life in the two communities. In three sections, it moves through a fifty-year period of attempts to commemorate, represent, and archive the history of the trail as it existed in the 1890s. As groups in Edmonton and Athabasca sought to reinvest the trail with meaning, they also represented dynamics of power between the two places, each articulating a different version of Alberta{\textquoteright}s historical geography. I show that the commemorative and archival practices that unfolded between the 1950s and the present used history to reflect and interpret contemporary geographical relationships between Edmonton and Athabasca. I conclude that these stories of the trail and the archives they produced constitute spatial histories, because their meanings were informed by representational spaces in the present. A theory for using spatial history is elaborated throughout the paper. },
