In honour of Saskatchewan’s heritage and the work that has gone into ensuring its preservation, and to promote the role of archives in society, Archives Week is celebrated in Saskatchewan during the first full week of February. The week helps kick off Heritage month and coincides with the birthday of Edmund H. Oliver, who was the first professor of history at the University of Saskatchewan, and arguably the father of archives in this province.

Archives Week fosters our identity and pride in Saskatchewan’s past with displays and special events. It elevates the role of the province’s archival institutions as keepers of authentic evidence of the province’s past, keeping archives on our map!
