The series consists of reports and correspondence from 1986 to 1997. These records were created and acquired by John G. Callan, Commissioner of the Industrial Townships Commission between 1989 and 1997.

The reports give detailed information about the annual inspection trips of the three member Industrial Townships Commission to the Kemano townsite, which was run by the Aluminum Company of Canada, Limited (Alcan).

The series consists of 1146 photographic prints and negatives taken by Harry Jomini between 1951 and 1954. These photographs document the construction of the Kenney Dam, part of the Kitimat Kemano project undertaken by the Aluminum Company of Canada (Alcan). The series includes photographs of the area including Kemano, Burns Lake, Francois Lake, Nechako, Ootsa and Vanderhoof. There are also photographs of individuals and groups living in the community. The prints are almost all numbered, titled and dated and were originally filed in 14 black binders and an envelope of loose photographs and negatives.
