13 maps on 15 sheets : chiefly mss., pencil, 3 blackline prints 76 x 50 cm or smaller.Langue du document :anglaisPortée et contenu :Sub-sub-series consists of the geological field notebooks kept by G.M. Dawson while on field trips in various parts of Canada. They cover the years 1875 to 1900, and are approximately 110 in number. Included among the notebooks are those prepared by geologists who were assistants to Dawson on the various field trips. These notebooks are listed under the name of the assistant; for example, Amos Bowman, D.B. Dowling, R.G. McConnell, James McEvoy, J.B. Tyrrel and James White. Unfortunately there are several volumes missing. All of which are clearly indicated in the finding aid. A concerted effort was made by the Geological Survey to locate these volumes through contacting former geologists as well as those currently surveying in the same area. The notebooks contain some anthropological notations, but the entries are essentially of a technical nature. It would appear that Dawson separated his geological and anthropological notebooks, many of the letters appearing in his personal papers which are located at the McGill University Library in Montreal.
The numbering system used for the notebooks is that created at the time in the Geological Survey and would appear to follow no consistent pattern. The notebooks have been numbered for convenience.
The sub-sub-series also contains sketch maps prepared during the Yukon expedition from information supplied by Tugish Indians. There are also published map sheets from the Alaska Military Expedition of 1883, lead by Lieut. Frederick Schwatka, that were used and annotated, in pencil, with additional geographical and geological information by the Dawson expedition.

Undeterred by a frail physique, Dawson worked as a field geologist and explorer in British Columbia for most of his career. He became the Survey's Director in 1895 and remained at that post until his death in 1901.
