In 2008, the SCAA followed the Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan and began presenting a prize at each of the Regional Fairs to students. With the Saskatchewan Heritage Fairs Program having been reorganized in the last few of years, the SCAA prize and the PAS prize were combined into what is now the Archives Award, and is presented to the student or students who best use archival or primary sources in the creation of their project. Archival sources, or primary sources, demonstrate a first-hand account of a time period, place or event. Examples of such sources are: letters and diaries; government, church, and business records; oral histories; photographs, motion pictures, and videos; maps and land records; and blueprints.
In association with this, the SCAA produced Archives in Saskatchewan: A Guide for Heritage Fair Participants to increase awareness and understanding of archives among school age students in Saskatchewan
This year, 4446 students from grades 4 - 8 participated their school Heritage Fairs
across the Province with the winners moving on to Regional Heritage Fairs in
Moose Jaw, Swift Current, Regina, Saskatoon and a Fair organized by the Tribal
Council, with the winners there moving on to Provincial Heritage Fair. The SCAA
with our members judged for the Archives
Award at the Regional Fairs as well as the Provincial Fair.
