Established in 1957 the Saskatchewan History & Folklore Society (SHFS) is a provincial organization that delivers programs and activities to enable inspire and celebrate the investigation and sharing of historical and folkloric knowledge in Saskatchewan’s diverse communities. This can include histories stories or traditions often uniquely personal or local which are passed between and within generations and which capture the lived experience of everyday people. This includes not only 'old' stories and traditions but also contemporary expressions practiced in the communities of today. Through the provision of information resources and community engagement and outreach the SHFS aims to facilitate the sharing of Saskatchewan’s diverse stories in support of building strong and healthy communities. We publish Folklore Magazine. Folklore Magazine is a unique venue to share stories of Saskatchewan. A typical issue includes a mix of articles that share the history of Saskatchewan and personal stories and poems that share what it is like to be from Saskatchewan. 'People stories' are one of the magazine’s strengths – stories of events daily life family humour and personal experiences. As such the magazine is a unique and rich resource for future (and current!) generations to enjoy. Published quarterly since 1979 Folklore is currently available in print. Storytelling is an ancient human practice a means by which people create and share meaning values and information for how to live in the world. Sharing personal stories is a powerful way to build connections and empathy between all people. At the SHFS we work to support storytelling in many forms whether it be sharing out loud through writing and poetry or through other forms of expression. Everyone has a story and every story is important! Our Youth Storytelling programs are ongoing throughout the year.
