*sad Sarah McLachlan song playing in the background*

Lost. Abandoned. Forgotten. These are the water bottles at the Archer Library's lost and found. For the cost of a reshare, you can help reunite them with their owners. Won't you please help out these beverage containers?

Here's some Library Lost & Found info you may not know:

We have a lost & found!
Once a week, we pack up unclaimed lost & found items and send them to the campus' main lost & found office in the Classroom Building (room 113). If your lost item isn't in the library, it might be there. Don't give up hope!
Lost items of a sensitive or valuable nature (eg. wallets) are turned in to Campus Security.

If you think you may have lost something in the library, please see staff at the Help Desk. You can also call (306-585-4133), email, or send us a chat message.

Archer Library & Archives has more eye-catching displays to help commemorate Remembrance Day. The first is near the main entrance that includes a curated display of books. The second is on a table (by the Dr. John Archer wall plaque) that has veteran recognition cards. These can be filled out and they will be collected and sent to the Regina Legion. The third display (curated by student Mason Hausermann) is in the large display cabinet by the IS Desk. We also have a digital collection titled Operation Calvados.

Art in Archer Winners

The Archer Library & Archives along with the faculties of MAP (Media, Art, and Performance) and Science sincerely thank all the individuals who participated in the Art in Archer event on Oct. 23. The Art in Archer event invited participants to create artwork, in a number of different mediums, based on images from the U of R's herbarium collection. All 25 submissions were beautiful creations! Congratulations to the 3 winners who were chosen separately by 3 different adjudicators: U of R President winner: Pressley Hinck Art in Archer judges panel winner: Dakota Schmidt People's Choice (Instagram voting) winner: Danveer Singh Unfortunately there was an internal miscommunication with the number of entries received and thus we failed to include the artwork created by Emma Shogren as part of the social media voting post. Sorry Emma! As a consolation we are awarding Emma an Honorable Mention for her creation. We will have a display in the Library in the Winter 2026 term of all the art works and comments from participants from Art in Archer....
