So Very Sociable: Saskatchewan Sports Days & Community Picnics
The Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan presents another side of sporting history: sports days and community picnics!
Settling in Saskatchewan was no easy feat and was especially difficult due to the isolated prairie way of life. Annual events were established to gather neighbouring communities together for quality time to socialize, which naturally included dining, playing, and making memories.
To view the exhibit, visit us in-person at 2440 Broad Street in Regina. Stayed tuned to our social media for opportunities to view it virtually.
So Very Sociable: Saskatchewan Sports Days & Community Picnics is on display until January 2026.
The Thrill of Discovery Video Series
The Thrill of Discovery: A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words was an exhibit developed as part of our Saskatchewan Archives Week event in February 2025. At the event, architectural historian Frank Korvemaker shared his innumerable discoveries made while conducting archival research.
The Thrill of Discovery is inspired by Frank's presentation. It shares the research process used to discover the story behind archival photographs with little to no information attributed to them.
A series of shortform videos highlighting the exhibit and the realities of historical research was created and is now available on our YouTube channel.
Elevator Construction
Due to ongoing elevator maintenance, certain records are unavailable for research or reproduction.
To better serve you, please contact us before your visit. We are doing our best to ensure minimal disruption to public services and are prepared to discuss how we can minimize impacts on your research. Any further updates will be shared on our website and social media accounts.
Le 24 septembre 2025, on a discuté l'importance des événements comme la Journée des sports et la Piquenique communautaire en Saskatchewan.
