Welcome!
The Saskatchewan Digital Alliance is a group established by the Multitype Library Board to facilitate greater
digitization of libraries, archive and other organizations resources and collections in the province. Our vision is to develop a locus of knowledge and support that enables the public to find, locate, and utilize Saskatchewan knowledge and information created through co-operative Saskatchewan digitization initiatives.
Feature Digitization Project:
Saskatchewan War Experience
The Saskatchewan War Experience directed project aims to achieve the following objectives:
- Build digitization capacity throughout the province. The project is expected to provide a sustainable and effective learning experience for participants that will not only increase their knowledge about digital collections, but also expose them to digitization in a collaborative environment.
- Demonstrate standards and best practices that will enhance interoperability among digital collections.
- Stimulate partnerships and collaborative planning between a variety of information providers such as archives, libraries, museums, heritage and cultural institutions, etc.
- Increase the amount of digital content available to the people of Saskatchewan.
Previous Digitization Projects Funded:
Our Legacy
Recipient of the 2007 and 2008 Saskatchewan Provincial Library Digital Grants, the Our Legacy website features materials relating to First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples, found in Saskatchewan cultural and heritage collections.
This site is a co-operative initiative among several of Saskatchewan’s publicly-accessible archives. It is primarily intended to increase the information normally available for archival material by providing access to descriptions of material at a file or item level. Where appropriate, some guides (finding aids) are also available. Although less comprehensive, the site also includes some published (library) and artifactual (museum) material. Please note that materials have been digitized based on consideration of known copyright, privacy, and particularly, cultural concerns.
