Most records in the collection were likely transferred to the archives between 1925 and 1986. Original provenance is largely unclear but archivists or others from Saskatchewan Conference or its predecessors probably brought together the various documents and published items, which could alternately have been filed in other collections or fonds.

From 1925 through to 1982, the official repository for Conference, Presbytery and local records of the United Church in Saskatchewan was at St. Andrew’s College (Saskatoon). In 1982, the Conference signed an agreement to house their records with the Saskatchewan Archives Board (later Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan), while still retaining ownership and management responsibilities. The collections were gradually relocated and continue to be stored with the Provincial Archives, to the present day.
