Accession N-1990-005 - Erik Watt

• Graphic material

741 photographic prints and negatives, predominantly black and white.

The majority of the photographs show locations within the Northwest Territories, however images from northern Alberta, northern Manitoba and northern Quebec complement the overarching theme of news reporting in Canada's north. A wide range of subject matter is covered in the photographs. Subjects include DEW line operations; educational activities; views of northern communities and people from both the eastern and western arctic; native reserves; mining operations; church work in the north; highway and road construction; and special functions such as the official opening of public buildings.
