Lantern slides of photographs that chiefly document an expedition led by Samuel Prescott Fay in the northern Canadian Rockies from Jasper, Alberta, to Hudson's Hope, British Columbia, from June to November 1914. The expedition received financial support from the United States Bureau of Biological Survey to collect and record wildlife species in the region, as well as determine the northern range of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. The lantern slides were probably created to illustrate lectures delivered by Fay in 1915, The photographs include informal portraits of expedition members, including Fay, Frederick Archibald Brewster, Charles Robert Cross, Robert Boydell Jones, and John Barnes Symes. Images of the men include depictions of camp life and activities related to the expedition, including hiking, hunting, fishing, paddling canoes, and managing a herd of twenty horses that accompanied them. Other individuals depicted include Ewan Henri Moberly, a Métis homesteader at Grande Cache, Alberta, and the family of Cree Indian Joseph Calliou at Moberly Lake, British Columbia. A few images depict unidentified American Indians, and Photographs of landscapes depict the terrain encountered by the expedition, including mountains, alpine ridges, meadows, burned over forests, rivers, and bogs. Identified sites include Grande Cache, Jarvis Pass, Kinuseo Falls, Moberly Lake, Mount Alexander, Mount Herman, Mount Ida, Murray River, Sapphire Lake, Smoky River, and Thunder Mountain, later known as Mount Cross. Several lantern slides reproduce maps of the region traversed by the expedition
