Saskatchewan Digital Alliance

Saskatchewan History Online

Saskatchewan History Online (SHO) was a collaborative initiative of the Ministry of Education, Saskatchewan Digital Alliance, Multitype Library Board, and the University of Saskatchewan. The project identified, preserved, and provided access to Saskatchewan cultural, historical and/or aboriginal records, documents, artifacts and other resources.

SHO expanded upon the model of multitype collaborative digitization developed to date in Saskatchewan, including The Saskatchewan War Experience. This initiative provided a digitization learning experience for participants, significantly expanded the digitization of Saskatchewan information resources, and stimulated partnerships across institution types.

The initiative:

• increased digitization capacity province-wide
• created a collaborative, inclusive digitization model/design
• achieved a broad range of digitized content and format selection
• achieved a cost-effective, equitable and open infrastructure management/design
• provided quality assurance and integrity
• achieved an addictive user experience
• achieved strong awareness and communication
