Archives Board
Unlike most other provincial archives across Canada which are part of a line department, Saskatchewan's provincial archives is situated at arms-length from government, allowing it to exercise independent initiative, judgement and service in carrying out its mandate of appraisal, acquisition, preservation, access and facilitating the management of records of government institutions.
The Archives Act provides for a board to oversee the activities of the Saskatchewan
Archives. The board is responsible for:
- appointing, reviewing and working with the Provincial Archivist;
- setting broad policy objectives and guidelines;
- ratifying specific management decisions;
- preserving the autonomy and the integrity of the institution and its records; and
- representing the institution to the community.
The current composition of the board is:
Mr. Trevor Powell
Former Provincial Archivist (Chair)
Mr. Ron Dedman
Deputy Minister, Government Services
Ms. Laura Hanowski
Certified Saskatchewan genealogy researcher and instructor
Ms. Carol Hixson
University Librarian, University of Regina
Dr. Catherine Littlejohn
Free-lance historian, researcher, writer and consultant
Mr. Rick Mantey
Deputy Cabinet Secretary & Clerk of the Executive Council (Vice-Chair)
Ms. Maureen Miller
Masters of Library and Information Sciences (MLIS)
Dr. William Waiser
Professor of History, University of Saskatchewan
Ms. Lenora Toth
Acting Provincial Archivist (Secretary of the Board)
