Photographs and ephemera from a disbound album chiefly related to Dawson City and the Yukon territory in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which was presumably compiled by Dawson City grocer J.H. Ahlert. Photographs depict the Klondike Gold Rush and include images of mining camps, prospectors, mountain passes including the Chilkoot Pass, rivers, dog sleds, and the streets, businesses, and inhabitants of Dawson City. The photographs primarily consist of commercial photographs (chiefly 16.5 x 21.5 cm) signed on the negatives by Larss & Duclos of Dawson. Notably, item 33 is an image of the Larss & Duclos photograph studio building in Dawson with the photographers standing in front with a camera on a dog sled. Additional identified photographers include E.A. Hegg, E.O. Ellingsen, W.P. Kelly, Draper & Co., Case & Draper, the Lomen Bros. and Ordway. There are also two color prints of elevated views of Dawson, presumably from the 1930s-1940s. The collection also includes pieces of ephemera related to J.H. Ahlert including printed business letterhead and bills for the Ahlert & Forsha grocery business in Dawson; Ahlert's Canadian customs pass; booklets and programs related to the Yukon Masons; and a handbill listing the gold scale used in Dawson City. Also included is an envelope and luggage tags identifying the family members as they travelled from Yukon Territory to their address in Pasadena, California.
