Saskatchewan Archives Week 2025
Celebrate Saskatchewan’s annual Archives Week the week of February 2 to 8, 2025. This year is a significant milestone: it is the 20th anniversary of Archives Week and the 80th anniversary of the Provincial Archives.
Join the Provincial Archives in celebration of archives and archivists on Wednesday, February 5 for a special event, Archives Week: The Thrill of Discovery. The evening will commence with a presentation delivered by architectural historian, Frank Korvemaker, focusing on the “needles in a haystack” that he has researched throughout his career and his joy at discovering the answer in the archives. Following the presentation, you can browse displays by local archives and go on a guided behind-the-scenes tour of the Provincial Archives.
The event will take place on Wednesday, February 5 in Regina at 2440 Broad Street. Doors will open at 6:15 pm and the presentation will begin at 7 pm.
For other Archives Week events taking place in the province, please visit the Saskatchewan Council for Archives & Archivists’ Archives Week website.
