Administrative history
Wilkie Presbytery was one of the original 16 presbyteries established by the first General Council of the United Church of Canada (June 1925), to be part of the new Saskatchewan Conference. Initial boundaries were based on the previous Wilkie Presbytery, which had been part of the Presbyterian Synod of Saskatchewan. Prior to Union, in 1925, there had also been a Wilkie District, in the Saskatchewan Conference of the Methodist Church.
On July 1, 1961, the presbytery officially amalgamated with Battleford Presbytery, except for two pastoral charges (Biggar and Springwater), which became part of Rosetown Presbytery.
Custodial history
Most records in the fonds were likely transferred to the archives between 1925 and 1986, with later additions brought in between ca.1990 and 2011. Their original provenance is unclear, though administrative and committee records may have come directly from presbytery secretaries, committee members, delegates or other associated individuals.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of textual materials generated by the Presbytery, its secretaries, committees and related bodies, in fulfillment of their responsibilities, as outlined in the Manual of the United Church of Canada.
Contents include: minutes (1925-1961); statistics (1960); and property records (1955-1967).
