Biographical history

Harry L. Day, born on July 4, 1880, entered Wycliffe College in Toronto in 1905 in preparation for the Anglican ministry. In 1907, he married Elizabeth Albinia Marshall and together they traveled to Fort Simpson. Between 1907 and 1909, Harry and Elizabeth Day assisted Archdeacon J.B. Lucas, the Anglican minister responsible for Fort Liard, Fort Norman and Fort Wrigley. In 1909, Day was appointed to St. Saviour's Anglican parish in Vermilion, Alberta, where he spent the next two years. In 1911, the Days settled outside of Elk Point, Alberta to homestead. Harry Day remained there until his death on July 21, 1964.

Custodial history

Scope and content

This fonds consists of 41 copy negatives, most believed to date from the Days' 1907 to 1909 stay in Fort Simpson. Images are primarily of people, but St. David's church and mission in Fort Simpson are featured. Locations include Fort Simpson, Hay River and Fort Norman. Eight of the photographs were taken by Henry W. Jones, who was a professional photographer in Hay River.
