Our Mission
Our Archives serves the needs of the Archdiocese of Regina in collecting
and preserving its official and historical records. These records
reflect the work of the Church in the Archdiocese, and are available to
its own officers and personnel for purposes related to its ministry.
Our Holdings
The Archives collection contains various types of records with different
restrictions on access, in order to respect the confidentiality of the
records. There are documents dating back to the late 1800s.
Historical records include: administration records, archbishops'
papers, chancery records, parish records, some early sacramental records,
and photographs. At this time, the work of classifying and
describing our holdings is still in progress. Once records have been
processed, they may become available for research purposes.
Archival/Historical Research
Visits to the Archives are by appointment only. Due to time-work
restrictions, the Archives is unable to do research for the general
public. Serious students of history, or those to whom access is
appropriate, may be given access to processed records after obtaining
approval from the Chancellor or Archivist. The Archivist will be
happy to provide consultation on the writing of parish histories and on
the establishment and maintenance of parish archives.
Genealogy Research
The Archives are not available for genealogical research. It does
not handle birth or death certificates; for these, contact Saskatchewan
Government Vital Statistics, toll-free 800-458-1179. Baptismal records are usually maintained by the
parish concerned. Please contact our reception desk for information
relating to baptismal records kept at the Archdiocesan office; 352-1651 or
