National Research Council - Exterior

View looking south of rear of National Research Council building. Crop Science and Field Husbandry building at left; Physical Education visible at right.

Bio/Historical Note: In 1916 the National Research Council legislation was enacted and the institution was formed with the mandate to advise the government on matters of science and industrial research. For the first 15 or 16 years of its existence the NRC consisted of offices and borrowed lab space. It launched Canada’s first research journal, “Canadian Journal of Research” and funded research for human and bovine tuberculosis – a significant domestic problem in the 1920s. In 1932, NRC’s first dedicated lab was built in Ottawa. The NRC established a laboratory on the east side of the University of Saskatchewan campus in 1948. The original purpose of the facility was to “use chemistry and biology to diversify Canadian agriculture.” Originally called the “Prairie Regional Lab” then the “Plant Biotechnology Institute,” the facility is now known as “NRC Saskatoon.”

Matador International Biological Program Research Station

View of the Matador International Biological Program Research Station near Kyle, Saskatchewan. Buildings visible in foreground and centre of image.

Bio/historical note: From 1967 to 1972, plant ecologists at the University of Saskatchewan participated in the International Biological Program (IBP). As part of this worldwide study of agricultural productivity, ecologists established the Matador field station near Kyle for grassland research carried out by scientists from thirty-four countries. The Matador Project involved the study of the total grasslands ecosystem,including the interaction of animals, plants, microorganisms, soils and the atmosphere.

Matador International Biological Program Research Station - R.T. Coupland

R.T. Coupland, Director of Matador Project (1966-1976) and professor of plant ecology, examines grain in a field.

Bio/Historical Note: From 1967 to 1972, plant ecologists at the University of Saskatchewan participated in the International Biological Program. As part of this worldwide study of agricultural productivity, ecologists established the Matador field station for grassland research carried out by scientists from thirty-four countries. The field station was located near Kyle, thirty miles north of Swift Current, in an area of natural grassland that was potentially the best wheat growing soil in the brown soil zone of Saskatchewan. The land (three square miles) was originally leased for 21 years from the Government of Saskatchewan; the lease (for $1/year) has since been renewed and currently expires in 2009. The Matador Project involved the study of the total grasslands ecosystem, including the interaction of animals, plants, microorganisms, soils and the atmosphere. Robert T. Coupland, Head of the Department of Plant Ecology, served as Director of the Matador Project.

Geology - Research - Marilyn Truscott

Marilyn Truscott of Glidden, Saskatchewan, a PhD candidate in geological sciences at the University of Saskatchewan, makes use of an electron probe x-ray microanalyzer. Mrs. Truscott uses the machine to analyze samples of volcanic rock from the Sweetgrass Hills in Montana. She is obtaining information that will help provide a more complete picture of the geological history of the Western Plains.

Human Motion Research

Four motion picture frames of a male runner's stride are correlated with EMG graphs of the activity of two of his thigh muscles as indicated by the numbers.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Bruce R. Brandell, Department of Anatomy, studied the activity of muscles in the thigh during walking, trotting, and sprinting. The study provided new insights into the training of athletes and into the treatment of walking disabilities.

Institute of Space and Atmospheric Studies

Series of images of the various instrument components for Black Brant rocket [previously mislabelled as brabant] relating to the Institute of Space and Atmospheric Studies.

Bio/Historical Note: The University of Saskatchewan's Institute of Space and Atmospheric Studies joined in 1965 with university scientists and researchers to form the Space Engineering Division (later known as SED Systems Incorporated).
