21 items in this collection

This collection holds photographs, documents, and materials from Jasper and the surrounding area that have not yet been assigned to a permanent exhibit. Some are historical records from the mining era and early settlement. Others are more recent photographs and archival materials waiting to be catalogued.

If you recognize any of these materials, or have context about their origins and significance, the curator would like to hear from you. Organizing these items into their proper collection depends on your knowledge of the community's history.
