Sarah Bishop Brigham papers, 1897-1907.

Title: Sarah Bishop Brigham papers, 1897-1907.

The papers consist primarily of a memoir by Mrs. Brigham about her experiences in Alaska, much of it drafted while she was still at Golovin Bay in the spring of 1899. It describes the Brighams' journey, the Golovin Bay Mission, Eskimo culture, the gold rush at Cape Nome, the communities of Unalaska, St. Michael, and "Anvil City" [Nome], the Alaska mail service, and various people Mrs. Brigham knew during her year there. The papers also include correspondence, some of it regarding mining claims owned by Mrs. Brigham; receipts and ephemera, including a program from and sketch of the Jesse Lee Home in Unalaska; newspaper clippings; drawings; and 38 photographs. Over half the photographs are of the mission community at Golovin Bay, many of them taken by the missionary P. H. Anderson; also present are several photos of miners at Nome, one of workers on the Alaska Railroad, two by Winter and Pond of a mine at Douglas, and studio portraits of Dr. and Mrs. Brigham taken in Burlington, Vermont, some years before their Alaska trip.
