yoURArcher - Archer Library at University of Regina

If you've been around the Archer Library lately you've probably noticed several exhibits near the Help Desk generously on loan from the Royal Saskatchewan Museum:

The Grandfather Rock - one of a number of Grandfather rocks scattered throughout Saskatchewan, this one is known as the Beaver Hills Petroglyph. The original rock is made of Dolomite (Limestone) from which this exacting replica was painstakingly recreated under the supervision and guidance of Elders.

Saskatchewan Tropical Crocodile - a scale model of a crocodile skeleton uncovered in the Saskatchewan badlands.

Bees and Pollination display - includes multiple bee specimens, a special golden bumble bee coin from the Canadian Mint, and research from Cory Sheffield, Curator of Invertebrate Zoology at the RSM. Be sure to open the drawers!

These museum pieces will be at the Library until April 1st, 2026.
