File consists of a leather bound album of photographs taken on George M. Dawson's 1887 expedition of the Geological Survey of Canada to the Yukon. This expedition was motivated by greater interest in gold mining in the Yukon through the mid-1880s, and Dawson was assisted by R.G. McConnell and J. McEvoy. The photographs include prints from GSC negatives 810 to 860, which depict northwest British Columbia and southern Yukon, including: Great Glacier, Stikine River, below Glenora, Telegraph Creek, the junction of Stikine and Tahltan Rivers, Laketon, Cassiar Trail, Dease Lake, Cassiar, Dease River, Frances River Canyon, and Frances Lake. Subjects include: landscape views, surveying activities, settlements near Telegraph Creek, Indigenous people of Dease River area (probably Dease River First Nation or other Kaska Nations). The album has been unbound for conservation reasons. Album pages include location notations for the prints.
