Dear Online Historical Map Digitization Project Enthusiasts,

As the sun sets on the familiar chapters of RootsWeb and Ancestry, we eagerly embrace the dawn of a new era for our beloved project. Welcome to the rejuvenated https://www.patreon.com/SaskGenWebOnline Historical Map Digitization project at our new digital home: https://saskgenweb.ca/canmaps/.

Our dedicated volunteers, the architects of this labor of love, are poised to continue the exploration of Saskatchewan's rich tapestry. Together, we document family histories, illuminate the corridors of one-room schoolhouses, and preserve the whispers of time etched on cemetery headstones. Our journey encompasses the intricacies of historical maps and the diverse placenames that define Saskatchewan's landscape.

This ensures the ongoing vitality of our project, and we extend a warm invitation for you to join us in this exciting venture. Immerse yourself in the revamped webpages at https://saskgenweb.ca/canmaps/ and witness the unfolding narratives of Saskatchewan's past.
