Title: William E. Meed collection, ca. 1898-1953 (bulk, ca. 1898-1907) [graphic]. ca. 1898-1953.

The collection consists of one journal, 42 clippings, and 327 vintage photographic prints depicting activities and scenes related to the Klondike Gold Rush in the vicinity of Dawson, Yukon Territory, Canada, ca. 1898-1953 (with the bulk of the materials dating from ca. 1898 to 1907). About 110 of the photographs were taken by Meed, and many are by well-known photographers such as Eric A. Hegg, H.C. Barley, H.J. Goetzman, George G. Cantwell, and the firm of Kinsey & Kinsey (Clark Kinsey and Clarence Kinsey). Meed's snapshots show his wife and family, friends, and fellow workers, as well as Dawson dwellings, docks and freighting activities, dogsled outings, and wilderness roadhouses. The commercially photographed items document Klondike mines and mining activities, Dawson street scenes, views along the Chilkoot Trail and the White Pass & Yukon Route railroad, steamboats and steamboat landings, and other Klondike scenes.
