History

In 2015, the Edmonton Public Library unveiled its plan for Capital City Records and announced a call for submissions. The library stated that the label would serve as "digital platform for streaming and downloading Edmonton's local music and recording our music history." As a virtual record label owned by a public library, Capital City Records was the first of its kind in Canada. Capital City Records was modeled after similar music services in Iowa City, Iowa and Madison, Wisconsin.
In 2017, Capital City Records began showcasing its artist roster with live performances in Edmonton.
