Folklore Magazine

A project of Saskatchewan History & Folklore Society

About

Published quarterly since 1979, Folklore Magazine is a unique venue for sharing stories of Saskatchewan. Folklore shares history through the lens of everyday people's lived experiences and local, regional, and community histories. “People stories” are one of the magazine’s strengths—stories of events, daily life, family, humour, and unique experiences.
Folklore Magazine accepts original submissions about some aspect of Saskatchewan stories or history. Folklore takes a broad view of what is considered related to Saskatchewan and what is considered history.
