E.P. Skubiski collection

  • CA mac mac-47
  • Collection
  • [ca. 1898-1904]

The collection consists of photographs taken by professional photographers. Eight of the photographs were taken by White Pass and Yukon Route (WP&YR) contract photographer H.C. Barley, three photographs were taken by E.A. Hegg and three by an unknown photographer. The Barley prints are of Dyea as seen from a wharf, a view of Skagway looking west, a vegetable garden in Skagway, Johnson Glacier, Black Lake near Skagway, and waterfalls Middle Prong Pitchfork, Little Niagara and Danon and Pythias. Presumably these are natural features along the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway. The Hegg prints were taken during the Klondike Gold Rush and include "Scales and Summit of the Chilkoot Pass", "The Whitehorse Rapids" and "Falls West of Skagway". The unidentified photographer prints are two images, nearly identical, of a group of people posing at an unknown location and another image of a group of people on a footbridge at Atlin Lake.
