Edmonton's archives have many stories from prominent people of the past, so the city's new historian laureate is looking for things that show how "everyday" people lived. She's also an artist and is now the city's fifth historian laureate. Wyman's focus on women, indigenous and other cultures has the support of city councillor Scott McKeen. McKeen thinks the historian laureate is important in helping the community understand where it comes from. The historian laureate has a two-year term.
