SCAA AGM 2026 Presentation with Jeff O'Brien
Jeff O’Brien was born in Saskatoon and raised in Regina where despite his best efforts to the contrary, he received an undergraduate degree in Canadian history. He went on to earn a master’s degree in archival studies from the University of British Columbia before returning home to Saskatchewan where he eventually settled down as the City of Saskatoon Archivist in 1997.
As the City of Saskatoon Archivist, Jeff believes in bringing history out of the archives and into the community. He is a regular contributor to Saskatoon HOME and Prairies North magazines, and to the Saskatoon History Review. He is frequently asked to speak to community groups, city classrooms, and at local events. He can also be seen and heard on radio and TV, talking about the history of his beloved adopted city. In 2023, he was awarded the Queen’s Jubilee medal in recognition of his work in this area.
