Maps and architectural drawings are compelling visual examples of the documentary heritage of the province of Saskatchewan, which is being collected and preserved by the Provincial Archives.
Maps held by the Archives were created for many different purposes, including early survey maps dating from the 1870s, maps showing landowners in various parts of the province, maps showing Indian Reserves, railway development and early trails, soil survey and geological survey maps, and maps of forest reserves.
Architectural drawings document the built history of Saskatchewan, and depict a wide variety of buildings including churches, schools, banks, government buildings and private residences. The Archives has several collections of drawings created by architectural firms.
To access these records, begin your search in our online catalogue. However, as not all of our Collection is described in the catalogue as of yet, you are also advised to contact Reference and Outreach Services.
