Davies/Scroggie Collection of White Pass and Yukon Documents and Ephemera 1899-1947

The Davies/Scroggie Collection of White Pass and Yukon Documents and Ephemera provides evidence of commerce and transportation in the Yukon Territory and Alaska dating between 1899 and 1947. The Collection largely consists of time rolls and distribution of labor books documenting the firm White Pass and Yukon Route. Other material in the collection includes certificates, customs documents, bills, correspondence, and legal documents, which represent commerce, transportation, and the Klondike gold rush (which began in 1897). The Collection is useful for understanding labor history, daily life during the gold rush, and the complexities of railway construction in the Yukon Territory and Alaska.
