ABOUT THE CLUB

The Skule Archives are a collection of stored documents, media, and other paraphernalia that tell the story of our history - which goes back well beyond 100 years. Our legacy as the oldest engineering school in Canada is pretty cool, and we aim to learn more about it and share it with all of you!
To see what we’re currently up to, check out our current projects & events page!

Why do we care?
Skule culture is constantly evolving. As F!rosh, we are introduced to the chants, spirit heads, and mascots who are all symbols of our community, and reflect the high value we place on our history and tradition. As we move forward, it’s important to be able to learn from and reflect on our past, both the good and the bad, and strive to make the Skule Community a safe space for everyone. We care because we can celebrate and learn from our history, and there is value in knowing what came before us.

Add to our collection
Calling all clubs, project directorships and regular ol’ skulegans! If you’d like to donate any memorabilia (we’re looking for poster pdfs, photos, trinkets etc.) to the Archives, you can leave it in our mailbox in the EngSoc Office (Archivist) or email archivist@g.skule.ca to coordinate a time to drop it off. If you have a digital copy, you can submit them at this link. [google forms]
