Archival records are superb tools for telling stories. In the exhibits and features found in this gallery, archival records from the Saskatchewan Archives' Collection have been used to document the history of this province and its people.
We invite you to spend time browsing through these interesting and diverse exhibits, which feature amazing photographs, film and audio clips, maps, documentary art, textual records and publications from the Archives’ rich and compelling “treasure trove” of documentary heritage resources.
This exhibit features select images from our collection which document the destruction caused by an F4 scale tornado that struck Regina on June 30, 1912.
This virtual exhibit highlights many of the interesting archival documents from Saskatchewan Archives' collections that relate to the history of the Dakota at Wahpeton Reserve.
Saskatchewan Settlement Experience
The experiences of settlers who came to Saskatchewan between 1870 and 1930, and their interaction with the indigenous population who inhabited the region, helped to define the land, the people, and the province that we know today. Created as a companion to the Saskatchewan Homestead Index, this site examines the settlement era through textual, photographic and multi-media documents mined from the Saskatchewan Archives’ Collection. Teachers will love the resources which have been designed especially for use in the classroom!
