Saskatchewan was originally part of the vast territory granted to the Hudson's Bay Company in 1670. Over the following two centuries, Native Peoples, fur traders and missionaries settled here.

On November 19, 1869, the Government of Canada acquired all the land belonging to the Hudson's Bay Company, commonly called Rupert's Land.

In 1870, the area between the province of Manitoba and the Canadian Rockies was organized into territories henceforth known as the Northwest Territories. The arrival of the railway in the mid-1880s opened these territories to mass settlement.

Until 1930, many immigrants came here from eastern Canada, the United States, Great Britain and Europe. Saskatchewan became a province on September 1, 1905.

Researchers interested in ancestors who lived in Saskatchewan use the main types of genealogical sources. A lot of information about these ancestors can be found, among other places, in land records and especially homestead records.

The official provincial government Web site [www.gov.sk.ca/] contains useful information about the province and its historic records.

The Saskatchewan Archives Board is a joint government-university agency that is the main repository of official records pertaining to the history of this province.

The guideFamily History Research [www.saskarchives.com/web/services-pub-family.html] presents the main sources and how to do research in Saskatchewan.

The Saskatchewan Archival Information Network [http://scaa.usask.ca/sain/] gives you access to other important resources held in many archives.
