Saskatchewan Archives (S-B6511)
Fifty-five years ago, on August 27th, 1956, the Saskatoon office of the Saskatchewan Archives Board moved into its new quarters in the newly constructed Murray Memorial Library building on the University of Saskatchewan campus.
This photograph of Douglas H. Bocking and Evelyn Eager was taken in the reading room of the Saskatoon office in 1960, a few years after the move to the new building. Evelyn Eager was the Assistant Provincial Archivist, and Douglas Bocking was an Archival Assistant. They are looking at some of the pre-1930 homestead records that document the settlement of Saskatchewan under the Dominion Lands Act.
