Saskatchewan One Room School Project provides an online history for current generations to enjoy, preserve, and experience, our historical educational, architectural, and cultural, heritage.


The objective of the Saskatchewan One Room School Project is to enable online those interested with the digital preservation of Saskatchewan country schools, the oral history of the people and places involved, images, data memories and recollections from those who taught and attended.

Presentations are being sought on topics honoring school house legacy such as school architecture and furnishing, oral history, ethnic schools, and changes in curriculum over time. Additional topics would include other uses of the buildings, school house games, and activities on the playground and in the classroom, materials and methods of instruction, classroom, school, teacher and class photographs, school roster listings, and year books.

If so, would you care to make an entry of the homestead location, and homesteader? The names and homestead locations of the two sworn witnesses could also be entered to help others in their search.
  • Do you have access to a Cummins map for this area? Would you wish to post any original homesteaders online from this map?

Please honor them and submit an abstract of the article about this person, and the town or city from where they hail from. Please note the source as well.

These are valuable records listing the names of community residents that deserve preservation. Sharing or digitizing such documents can prevent the loss of primary source materials for family genealogists.
