Mary Donaldson Memorial Trust Fund
The Mary Donaldson Memorial Trust was established in 1966 to honour the memory of Mary Donaldson, who was Saskatchewan’s first Provincial Librarian from 1951 until her death in 1966. The Saskatchewan Library Association established the Mary Donaldson Memorial Lecture Series in May 1967. The lectures are given annually by leaders in the field of library science or related fields. While the lectures are designed primarily for librarians in the province, they are open to the public in the belief that library trustees and friends of the libraries will also find them thought-provoking and challenging. The Mary Donaldson Award of Merit was established in 1977 to provide a bursary to a full-time or part-time Saskatchewan student who attends a library technical program at the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology, Kelsey Institute in Saskatoon.
The Mary Donaldson Fund, which finances the series, is supported yearly by individual members of the Association, library boards, library associations, library trustees and friends of Mary Donaldson. With support such as this, the lectures have become a permanent and valuable part of the continued expansion of library services in Saskatchewan and a fitting tribute to Mary Donaldson’s part in that growth.
