Full company description
A Saskatchewan where everyone belongs and histories matter.
The Western Development Museum (WDM) is the largest human history museum in Saskatchewan with a collection of over 75,000 artifacts ranging from pins to locomotives. With four locations in the province, the WDM shares Saskatchewan stories from the beginning of settlement to present day. Each museum location focuses on different aspects of Saskatchewan history - transportation in Moose Jaw, farm and rural life in North Battleford, 1910 Boomtown and innovation in Saskatoon and stories of immigration in Yorkton. The WDM also has a Curatorial Centre located in Saskatoon for administrative and curatorial functions as well as collections storage.
The WDM is a registered charity and was established in 1949 when the Saskatchewan Government passed the Western Development Museum Act. The museum is governed by a 6-member Board of Directors appointed by the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan through an Order in Council.
The Western Development Museum is committed to collecting a representation of the material evidence of Saskatchewan's human history, from the settlement period (circa 1870) to the present. Artifacts made and/or used in the province are a priority. The Museum's extensive collection of agricultural machinery and transportation equipment has become indelibly linked with the WDM's national and international reputations. In addition, the collection contains a wide variety of household, business, and personal artifacts representative of Saskatchewan's history.
