Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Lewis, H : Harold "Harry" Lewis was born in July 1901 in Victoria, British Columbia. In the early 1930s he began work at Harry Jones' hardware in the Yukon. Thereafter, he began work with the Yukon Consolidated Gold Corporation (Y.C.G.C.), a gold mining company in Dawson, Yukon Territory. Lewis married Hilda Lewis in March 1935. Together they adopted two children, Sylvia and Ross. Harry Lewis obtained some of the first colour film that became commercially available in 1936 and took this with him to the Yukon. Prior to this he shot black and white film. Excerpts of his work were included in the National Film Board of Canada short film, entitled "In the Days of the Riverboats", concerning river boats in the Yukon.
