A Holiday at Clinton, B.C., 1889

The file consists of one album of 14 photographs containing views of outdoor group portraits of identified members of the Langley and F.W. Foster families and others picnicking and hunting in the area around Clinton.

An image of “A holiday at Clinton, B.C. 1889,” handwritten and framed in lace, has been adhered to the front cover. “Photographs taken by W.H. Langley (son of A.J. Langley) on a visit to the F.W. Fosters at Clinton 1889” is written in blue ink on the inside cover. Pages are made of card, with a thin layer of paper adhered to the front, punched with two holes, and tied (bound) with white string. Photographs have been cut into circles 9.8 cm in diameter and adhered to album pages with unknown adhesive. Each photograph was printed with varying patterned borders 1 cm wide.

A piece of blue paper has been taped to the inside cover, listing members of the “upper ten” (see attached File List). A photograph consisting of a copy of “Looking down the valley,” framed with ribbon, and the words “Near the lake where drooped the willows long time ago” has been adhered to the outside back cover.

Original titles were added by the creator. “These photographs identified by Mr. Fred Foster (F.W. Foster) 1842 Feltham Road, March 31. 1963” is written on verso of the first page and Foster’s notations are written on the verso of a photograph’s preceding page in blue ink.

Album [views of British Columbia and Quebec]

File consists of one photograph album containing photographs depicting scenes and people in British Columbia and Quebec. The British Columbia photographs depict Indigenous people, the Canadian Pacific Railway at Yale Canyon and various views of Fraser Canyon, a paddle wheeler on the Fraser River (Hope, Yale), a pack train and G.M. Sproat, fishing operations, hunting along the Skeena River, militia and navy groups, and the H.M.S. Caroline at Esquimalt.

Some of the portraits of Indigenous people included in this album appear to have been taken during Department of Indian Affairs tours of inspection in 1873 near Cape Caution (including J-04207). In the album, the photographs are dated 1883.

Assorted travels

The item consists of one album containing five titled and dated sections of photographs:

  1. “A trip to the continent March-April 1900,” includes views of France and Italy. Large photographs were likely purchased during travels and include a number and the name of a photographer’s studio. There is pressed plant material “From Hadrian’s Villa” on page 3.

  2. “Port Townsend Cruise (in “Dorothy”) July 1900” includes views of various sailing vessels, many are identified.

  3. “Cruise to Nanoose Bay (in “Dorothy”), Sept 1902” includes photographs of house exteriors, sailing vessels, and unidentified women and men.

  4. “Duck shooting expedition to Douglas Lake (via Kamloops), October 1903” includes outdoor group portraits of identified men and one woman, building exteriors, and transportation by horse and boat.

  5. “A trip to Cassiar, 22nd Aug. to 2nd Oct 1904” includes views of landscapes, river boats, outdoor group portraits of partially identified men, and animal trophies. A “Memo of dates” and “Synopsis of hunting tip to Eagle River, 1904” are written on two of the pages. The collection ends with two full-page hunting photographs.

Numerous album pages are unused.

All photographs are captioned in black ink.

“(All photos (except large full plate[s]) taken with Kodak by WHL)” is written in pencil in the top left of the first album page, probably by Archives staff.

Five weeks in Alaska: diary of a trip to the Kenai Peninsula, September, 1913. Illustrated with photographs.

John L. Heron diary

The series consists of two photocopies of a diary made in 1978 of a 1958 transcript. The original handwritten diaries were created by John L. Heron as he traveled from Harvey, North Dakota to Dawson, Yukon Territory between 1898 and 1900, likely as part of the Klondike gold rush. He spent the winter of 1898-99 on the Liard River, the winter of 1899-1900 at Telegraph Creek, and then he traveled down the Stikine River and reached Dawson via Skagway. His diaries document his experiences of prospecting, mining, transportation, hunting, and the people he meets during his travels. As Heron wrote his entries he used language that was considered acceptable at the time. The transcript was created in 1958 by Lois Sanderson from the original diaries for Colonel J.M. Gibson in Toronto, a relative of John Heron. The photocopies include a copy of a map with dates and locations, and copies of photographs that were added in 1978 by Colonel Gibson.
