University of Saskatchewan Diefenbaker Archival Collections

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 the University of Saskatchewan Archives.

The Diefenbaker Archival Collections are off-site, and advanced notice is required in order to retrieve material. We may also be able to assist with some reference enquiries based on digitized material, particularly photographs and audio/visual material. Please contact the University Archives for assistance.

The Diefenbaker Canada Centre houses the Diefenbaker museum and gallery.
