Provincial Archives Celebrates 70 Years with a New Act

Released on August 26, 2015

The proclamation of The Archives and Public Records Management Act will advance government accountability for the management of public records, particularly electronic ones.  All public records, regardless of format, are subject to the new Act.

“Saskatchewan’s history has shaped our province into the wonderful place it is today and it’s essential that our past be remembered both today and in the future,” Minister responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission Mark Docherty said.  “By collecting, preserving and providing access to Saskatchewan’s historic documents, the Archives continue to safeguard our vibrant history, just as they have for the last 70 years.”

“As the Archives celebrates its 70th year in 2015, we look forward to a new era of service to the general public and to government in acquiring, preserving and making accessible the many public and private records of historical significance to Saskatchewan,” Provincial Archivist Linda McIntyre said.  “Archives represent the collective memory of those who have shaped our history and tell the many stories of individuals, organizations, communities and the Government of Saskatchewan.”

The Provincial Archives have been engaged in developing awareness of its services and archival holdings through publications, exhibits, a multi-year video series on Saskatchewan’s First World War experience and educational packages for teachers and students.  The institution also continues to add to its online catalogue of historical sources for researchers.

The Saskatchewan Archives will take on a new name for the institution as Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan.  The name change is immediate and will be reflected in all aspects of the Archives’ communications.
