The fonds consists of four series: Photographs - Claude Tidd; Textual Records - Claude and Mary Tidd; Films - Claude Tidd; and Sound Recordings - Claude and Mary Tidd. The fonds also includes a map of the Yukon Territory annotated by Claude Tidd.
The photographs series includes original black and white photographs taken by Claude Tidd between 1916 and 1947, as well as early photographs of Mary Tidd and her family. Textual records consist of letters written primarily by Mary Tidd to her family, and many clippings of articles written by and about Claude Tidd. The films, also shot by Claude Tidd, document many Yukon communities and people. The sound recordings consist of two phonograph recordings of homemade interviews of Claude and Mary Tidd. See series, sub-series and file level descriptions for further details.
