Online Historical Map Digitization Project


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/. The existing pages may transition to a format without updates and new additions in 2024, but fear not; our commitment to unraveling Saskatchewan's genealogy, history, and community heritage remains steadfast.

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.

With the unwavering support of our growing Patreon community (https://www.patreon.com/SaskGenWeb), we've secured a new domain and web hosting provider. 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.

Beyond this transformative shift, we invite you to be an integral part of our ongoing story. Explore the rejuvenated Online Historical Map Digitization project and consider contributing through Patreon to ensure its enduring presence. Our heartfelt thanks to Ancestry.com and Rootsweb.com for their years of free hosting; now, we seek your support in sustaining our venture through paid web hosting.

Welcome to the revitalized Online Historical Map Digitization project! Your enthusiasm and support resonate as we continue to preserve and share the historical treasures of Saskatchewan.

Warm regards,

The Online Historical Map Digitization Project Team

Note

The paper map may be in the public domain, but once the map is republished online, the copyright is again with the date of publication to the website for the new publication method as there is no paper on the internet.


Purchasing Maps

If you wish to purchase an historical map, you may wish to try searching such venues as used book stores, or auction sites such as E-bay.

Bookfinder.com is an amalgamation of used and new book stores who allow their computerized store inventory database to be searched by bookfinder.com

The maps online at the Online Historical Map Digitization Project are mainly from digital submissions originating as scans, so these are not available for purchase in paper format.

If you have a map for sale, you may also wish to contact a used book store, or an auction site such as E-bay.

If you wish to know the price of your historical map, you may wish to compare it to maps listed on a used book store web site, or on E-bay.

If the map was from the Saskatchewan Provincial Archives, contact them for a map -they have paper scanning processes, as well as digitization formats available.

If the map was in a Saskatchewan Atlas, please contact K.I. Fung at the University of SAskatchewan for further permissions. To purchase a Saskatchewan atlas, contact the University of Saskatchewan bookstore.

Thank you.

Submitting Scans of Maps

If you have an historical map that you have scanned and wish to submit it to share with historians/genealogists, please contact the webmaster. This would be done on a volunteer basis, and submitted to a volunteer to be placed online. Credit to the submitters are acknowledged on the relevant map pages, and in the dedication pages as well. If you decide to send the paper version via postal mail and wish the material returned please send a SASE. Arrangements can be made for postal mail, if that is easier. It is preferred to receive a digital image from scanner or camera via the email or a file transfer program such as SendSpace or OneDrive for large files to place the maps online.
