Biographical history
Custodial history
Material was collected by A.G. Courtney and preserved by his family. The Dawson City Museum acquired this material from George B. Courtney, son of A. G. Courtney. He brought textual papers, negatives, and photographs to the Dawson Museum in 1981 and additional photographs that corresponded to negatives held in the 1981 collection, were acquired by the museum in 1990.
Scope and content
This fonds consists of textual material comprised of a diary, books ("The Goldfields of the Klondike" J.B. Prather, Douglas, Alaska 1899), free miner's certificate, bill of sale, correspondence, newspaper articles dating from 1898 to 1967, a poster, pamphlets, maps, purser's and passenger's cheque, tickets, and receipts. There are also black and white photographs and blue prints that were collected by A. G. Courtney during his travel and stay in Dawson City, Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush. Modes of transportation, and the life of a stampeder are represented through this collection. Photographs depict his journey from Seattle to Skagway, over the Chilkoot Trail and down the Yukon River to Dawson City. His journey to Nome, Alaska is also depicted through the photographs.
