School Yearbooks:
Contact the SGS Library, Local Public Library, or the appropriate regionalSaskatchewan School or School Division (R.C.S.S.D and Public) library to see if they have copies of past editions of school yearbooks. Use the ages to approximate date of school enrollment, and also pay attention to familial oral history to see if they would also be mentioned in club or team photos in the yearbook. The yearbook may also indicate a choice of college or future plans. Both the University of Saskatchewan and University of Regina have archival records which include: private papers of faculty, staff,
students, alumni, and University-related organizations and societies. Early school missions approximately of the time frame before Saskatchewan became a province in 1905.
