Part of Maynard family collection
This series consists of 320 field photographs created by Richard Maynard during colonial government tours of inspection of Indigenous communities between 1873 and 1892. Images were intended to document elements of Indigenous peoples' lives such as demographics, fishing and food harvesting practices, community locations and site features, governance, clothing, and material culture; colonial government-to-Indigenous government relationships; and perspectives of colonial government administration. The images were used in colonial government reports and communications and to expand Maynard's portfolio of commercial images.
The series has been arranged into four sub-series:
- -MS-3378.A Tours of inspection aboard H.M.S. Boxer (1873-1874)
- -MS-3378.B Alaska trips (1879, 1882, 1887, 1892)
- -MS-3378.C Haida Gwaii trips (1884, 1888)
- -MS-3378.D Miscellaneous field photography ([187-]-[189-])
