Resignation of Trevor Powell as Provincial Archivist of Saskatchewan
3/31/2006
The Chair of the Saskatchewan Archives Board, Merrilee Rasmussen Q.C., announced today the resignation of Trevor Powell as Provincial Archivist of Saskatchewan effective March 31, 2006. Mr. Powell has worked for the Saskatchewan Archives for 33 years and close to 20 years as head of the institution.
"Under Mr. Powell's leadership, the Saskatchewan Archives has made great strides in meeting the needs of modern government and the people it serves," Rasmussen said. "There have been significant accomplishments including the passing of new Archives legislation, expanding and strengthening the role of the Saskatchewan Archives in managing government information, standardizing the description of archival materials within its holdings, improving reference and outreach service to users, bringing the Archives to a wider public through virtual exhibits and the digitization of records and finding aids, to name a few."
"These achievements are not due to one person, but to board, management and staff working together to ensure Saskatchewan s documentary heritage is better managed, preserved and made accessible," Powell said. "It has been a great privilege for me to have worked with such dedicated and talented people during my lengthy professional career with the Saskatchewan Archives."
"We, the board, management and staff, are sorry to see Mr. Powell leave, but understand that he wishes to pursue other interests," Rasmussen said. "We wish him well and thank him for his services to the Saskatchewan Archives, to the provincial and national archival community and to the archival profession."
Don Herperger has been appointed Acting Provincial Archivist effective April 1, 2006.
