| Custodial History |
|
Mrs. Ruth Tracy donated photographs to the Kamloops Museum and Archives in 1964. The museum donated photographs to the Yukon Archives in 1980 but advised that the collection may be a combination of Mrs. Tracy's donation and other collections. Only one photograph (80/44 #14) is directly attributed to Mrs. Tracy.
