Biographical history

Logan Video Services was established in Whitehorse, Yukon in 1986 by film and video maker, John Booth. The company worked predominantly in the documentary genre and included everything from wildlife educational programs, "how-to" shows, music videos, tourism promotions, and railway and human interest stories shot throughout Yukon and Alaska. The clientele included television networks, government, and industry in North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe. Logan Video Services was relocated to the Isle of Man in 1997.

Scope and content

The fonds consists of videos which document the interests and activities of a professional Yukon filmmaker and in addition documents Yukon history and culture. A summary of the type of subject matter contained in the fonds is as follows: White Pass and Yukon Route (WP&YR) trains, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), historical and contemporary perspective of mining in the Yukon, seasonal shots, wildlife, the Alaska Highway, Yukon communities and people. Many of the films capture events and celebrations held during the Yukon's decade (1992-2002) of anniversaries. Also included are interviews with a variety of individuals including Roy Minter (author of "The White Pass: Gateway to the Klondike") and Marvin Taylor of the WP&YR, Olympic cross-country skier Lucy Steele and Father Mouchet, and artist Ted Harrison. Some films contain stills from the Gold Rush era and archival film footage of World War II and the Alaska Highway. Fourteen tapes are completed productions and may have been shown on public television.
