John G. Diefenbaker, Prime Minister of Canada, Member of Parliament, and University of Saskatchewan alumnus and chancellor, bequeathed his extensive papers and books to the University of Saskatchewan. The John G. Diefenbaker fonds has been supplemented by more recent acquisitions of papers, books and memorabilia relating to the Diefenbaker legacy. Access to these collections is managed by University Archives & Special Collections.
The Diefenbaker archival collections are off-site, and advanced notice is required in order to retrieve material. The material must be used in the reading room of the University Archives and Special Collections. We may also be able to assist with some reference enquiries based on digitized material, particularly photographs and audio/visual material.
As of Sept. 1st 2025 we have temporarily suspended reference services and closed our reading room to prepare for the move to our new space.
In the meantime, we may be able to assist with limited research help and provide copies of previously digitized material. Contact us for assistance.
The University of Saskatchewan's main campus is situated on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis.
