Biographical history

Bjorn H. Svendsen was a stampeder who went to Dawson City, Yukon about 1897 and stayed in the region until around 1908. He worked as a blacksmith and had his own shop at 29 Gold Run. Svendsen also mined claims 29 and 43 Gold Run, acted as an agent/distributor for a mining self-dumping system (a cableway conveyor) developed by Bernard Estby, and as a hobby took photographs.

Custodial history

Donated by Bjorn Svendsen's son, Sidney Svendsen.
