The textual records consist of narration intended for one or two of the Aklavik/Inuvik film reels. The slides are originals taken by Curtis Merrill, except for a few duplicates taken by Roger Brown. The duplicate slides carry the notation "R.B." The slides depict members of the survey crew and the Local Aklavik Advisory Committee at work during the initial survey and the later construction at Inuvik. The photographs depict various aspects of the survey work including clearing ground cover, drilling test holes and constructing roads. Also depicted are various buildings being constructed at Inuvik and some close-ups of pile driving and the construction of the towns' utilidor system. The film footage and videocassette primarily feature Aklavik and the construction of the new settlement of Inuvik (initially known as East 3); one reel of film is believed to be from Merrill's 1949 film of an expedition to Foxe Basin and there is also footage of the South Slave Region, Great Slave Lake and Nahanni Butte. There are also 13 pieces of film containing outtakes from the Aklavik/Inuvik footage.
