Photograph Database

This database is a thematic index of photographic materials relating to aboriginal and metis studies, held by Saskatoon and area archives. New records are continually being added to the database.

This is an item-level database: each image has been described and entered individually. The records have been entered according to Rules for Archival Description: titles and annotations have been transcribed exactly. Although every attempt has been made to include standardized subject headings, researchers should be aware that image names and annotations will reflect changes in terminology over time (for example, "Riel Rebellion" and "Northwest Rebellion" could both be found as titles for images relating to the Northwest Resistance, 1885).

Records may refer to prints, negatives, slides, and transparencies. Copyright and access restrictions may apply.

Archival material is unique: none of this material will be loaned out. Rules concerning access, use and reproduction of materials, including costs, are set by each institution independently.
