Pioneer Questionnaires

In the early 1950s, the Saskatchewan Archives distributed a series of questionnaires to early settlers of the province. There were eleven different questionnaires which covered the following topics: Pioneer Diet, General Pioneer Experiences, Schools, Churches, Recreation and Social Life, Farming Experiences, Folklore, Health, Housing, Local Government, and Christmas. The 3500+ replies which were received are located in the Saskatoon office.The questionnaires may be searched by the name of the pioneer, the nearest community, or the year of settlement in Saskatchewan. To access the questionnaires, please visit the archives in Saskatoon, or contact us.
