The file consists of a photograph album of the BC Historical Association. The album contains some photographs aboard a ship in 1920, however the majority of photographs in the album document a visit of the BC Historical Association to Nootka Sound in August 1924 on the boat Uchuck. The photographs depict several locations, including San Mateo, Uchucklesit (Kildonan), Bamfield, Tofino, Clayoquot, and Kyukut whaling station, but most photographs are taken at Nootka Sound and Yuquot (Friendly Cove). Many photographs depict Nuu-chah-nulth people, totem poles and totem pole carving, the church at Yuquot, and a meeting between Walter Cameron Nichol, the 12th Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, and Chief Napoleon Maquinna. Maquinna is a name that is passed down to the Mowachaht-Muchalaht Chiefs (formerly called the Nootkas).
