The Société Historique de la Saskatchewan (SHS) serves the province’s French-speaking community, but many people are not able to easily access its archives located in Regina. To address this challenge, the organization has taken on a multi-year project to digitize the Archives Fransaskois.
Quinn Bell, Francophone archivist, SHS, says preserving archival materials and making them widely accessible is important for minority language groups, as these resources help people stay connected to their heritage.
