Explore History

A Saskatchewan library partnership to provide Gale historical resources

The Dr. John Archer Library, supported by the University of Saskatchewan Libraries and Regina Public Library, was excited to enter into a partnership with the scholarly publisher Gale to provide unrestricted access for everyone in Saskatchewan to Explore History. This world-class collection of primary sources – maps, photos, newspapers, manuscripts, pamphlets, portraits, and more – is a sub-set of the Gale digitized archives the Archer Library has purchased for use by all students and faculty. Topics range from the history of North America’s Indigenous peoples, to British newspapers from the 17th to the 21st centuries, world-wide archival records of the 1800s and 1900s, and materials focused on sexuality and gender. Access outside of the University of Regina is managed by the Provincial Library and Literacy Office through public library systems, a network of special libraries, and our post-secondary colleague libraries.
