Introduction[edit | edit source]
Archives collect and preserve original documents of organizations, the provincial archives is dedicated to provincial government organizations, city archives to municipal affairs, and University archives to university personnel and records. Most archives and libraries house records of local residents including biographies, family histories, photographs and local histories. Additionally church records, school files, newspapers, and passengers lists are also available. Additionally resources are available about nearby places contained in maps, gazetteers, and place-finding aids. Reference helps and special indexes are available for important local sources. When paying a visit to an archive or a library, visit their website, contact them and ask for information on their collection, hours, services, and fees.
The Family History Library has copies of some records of these archives and they have recently come online and are available for free. The Family Search Center has available documents of the Saskatchewan Provincial Archives dated between 1879-1987.

Computer Networks and Bulletin Boards[edit | edit source]
Computers with modems can be useful tools for obtaining information from selected archives and libraries. In a way, computer networks themselves serve as a library. The Internet, certain computer bulletin boards, and commercial on-line services help family history researchers:
- Post queries.
- Send and receive E-mail.
- Search large databases.
- Search computer libraries.
- Join in computer chat and lecture sessions.
You can find computerized research tips and information about ancestors from Saskatchewan in a variety of sources at local, state, national, and international levels. The list of sources is growing rapidly. Most of the information is available at no cost.
Addresses on the Internet change frequently. As of September 1997, the following sites are important gateways linking you to many more network and bulletin board sites:
