[Trading post ledger]
N-1992-074: 1-2 · File · 1897-1901
Part of Buffum Fur Trade Ledgers

Ledger (4.5 cm. thick) covers the period May 7, 1897 to April 23, 1901. The location of the store where these ledgers were used is unknown, but it is possible that they originate from the Hislop and Nagle in Fort Rae Island as George Buffum may have collected them during the time when he ran his trading post. The ledgers itemize furs traded for other goods.

N-1992-271: 1-1 · File · 1903 [photocopied 1992]
Part of Alfred Preble fonds

Photocopy of the typescript version of Alfred E. Preble's journal of his 1903 trip from Athabasca Landing to Fort Wrigley back to Athabasca Landing. Included in the journal are descriptions of the flora and fauna observed and collected. There are also descriptions of Fort Resolution, Hay River, Fort Simpson and people he met during the journey. Also included are some photocopies of black and white photos taken by Preble during this trip.

Preble's description is his journal may cause offense because he uses outdated language to describe Indigenous Peoples including the Inuit. We have reproduced the original as is because it is a part of the original historical record. If you have feedback or questions, please contact the NWT Archives.
