Biographical history

Susan Jackson (formerly Susan Milligan) moved to Yellowknife in 1965 to work for the federal government. She developed a personal interest in the history of Yellowknife, and in 1983 became the City's coordinator for the 1984 Yellowknife Homecoming, a 50th anniversary celebration of the founding of the community. As a result of gathering materials for this project, she founded the Yellowknife Local History Project. In 1986, Susan moved to Sechelt, British Columbia, with the materials she had collected for the Yellowknife Homecoming and the Yellowknife Local History Project, There she began compiling and editing the materials for a book entitled "Yellowknife, N.W.T.: An Illustrated History." Susan Jackson was an active participant in many community groups and was involved in founding an organization dedicated to establishing a search and rescue operation in the Northwest Territories.

Custodial history

Scope and content

This fonds consists of 1.5 cm of textual material and two photographs. The text is comprised of copies of the proceedings of the 1972, 1973 and 1974 Arctic Air Symposiums sponsored by the Canadian Air Transportation Administration. Jackson attended these meetings in her capacity as a member of the group working to establish a search and rescue group within the Northwest Territories. The photographs show a Canadian Forces Lockheed C-130 being unloaded at Alert in 1973 and May Willmot, a writer from Ottawa and a member of the Canadian Air Force standing beside a signpost at Alert. In addition, there is also a copy of the proceedings of a meeting held in Yellowknife in 1975 in conjunction with the United Nation's International Women's Year.
