To finish off Archives Week in the province, the Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan has launched a new online catalogue that is more easily shared with both the public and other archival catalogues.
The new software will make over 900,000 descriptions of records from the Permanent Collection of the Provincial Archives available for searching, as well as access to over 300,000 digitized original archival records — largely photos and textual records.
“This online catalogue puts the rich history of our province directly at the fingertips of our citizens,” said Minister Responsible for the Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan Ken Cheveldayoff, in a press release. “This will enable a broader audience to access historical documents anytime, anywhere, whether their research is personal or academic.”
The catalogue is set to be updated with new content as more records are digitized.
The new open access catalogue is available at search.saskarchives.com, and anyone interested in learning more about the records available in the Permanent Collection at the Provincial Archives can visit their website.
