The sub-sub-series consists of approximately 57,000 to 60,000 b&w glass plate or nitrate negatives as well as some contact or proof prints.

The photographs were created as part of the effort to create topographical maps of the Rocky Mountains and other hilly terrain in Canada between the years of 1888 and 1958. The process, called photopography, used multiple photographs taken at an oblique angle from high elevations, to produce images from which topographic maps could be constructed back in the office. The method, promoted by Surveyor General of Canada Edouard Deville, saved enormous amounts of time and resources. Surveyors from the Dominion Land Survey were trained to use a camera to take the scientific images. The collection, which consists mostly of images taken in Alberta and British Columbia, but also scattered elsewhere across Canada (where elevation gains could be found), presents a very comprehensive photographic survey of the mountain landscape in these two provinces, including photographs taken along both international boundaries and the interprovincial boundary of Alberta and British Columbia.

In the 1930s the federal government began to experiment with aerial survey photography taken from airplanes, and this method completely replaced the ground phototopography after 1958.

RG88M Acc. 88986 includes a set of albums of photographic prints taken from the glass plate negatives. This set of prints is incomplete, but does cover a range of the phototopographic surveys from c. 1901 to 1930. The albums also generally contain an index to views for the images.

Photographic accession 1976-283 consists of approximately 800 glass plate negatives taken as part of the larger phototopographic project, but more specifically for the International Boundary Survey. These negatives were segregated from the larger collection in 1976 and transferred to the National Archives of Canada.

Photographic accession 1989-172 consists of a separate set of albums of 'scenic views' taken by the surveyors during their fieldwork. These views tend to be views of the surveyors, their camps, and occasionally the surrounding areas of those camps.

Some more related glass plate negatives from the survey can also be found in the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources photographic collection 1969-095, as well as some photographic prints in the Department of Mines and Technical Surveys photographic collection 1960-125. The former relate mostly to the International Boundary Commission work in Alberta and British Columbia.

There are numerous related cartographic records also in RG88M Acc. 88986 related to the phototopographic survey, as well as textual records in the Surveys and Mapping Branch sous-fonds of Natural Resources Canada and other related fonds.
