These postcards are printed photographs (not real photo) images of the University of Saskatchewan campus, and Saskatoon, taken during the 1940s. The postcards have not been used: each is identified with a “negative number” on the back, although the photographer is not known. It is assumed these were a reference set, from which orders for more postcards could be made. They are in pristine condition and provide exceptionally clear images of early University buildings, such as the original Veterinary Medicine building and the student-built “New Medical College,” as well as rare images of Saskatoon, including the Bessborough Hotel gardens and views of bridges from the road.

This ready-reference collection of articles and clippings has been compiled in order to highlight some main topics of interest within our holdings, or to provide straightforward answers to frequently asked questions. The collection is intended to grow as future archival workers add files for major events, persons, and topics, and flesh out those files already existing with further clippings and articles.
