History / Biographical: Abbot Pass Hut was built in 1922 and sits at an elevation of 2,926 meters. It is one of the highest structures in Canada. The hut was named after Philip Stanley Abbot who had died from a fall during the first known attempt to reach the summit of Mount Lefroy. The hut was a national historic site, but the hut was closed to visitors in 2018 due to the erosion of the slope beneath the hut. On June 30, 2022 Parks Canada officially removed Abbot Pass Hut, due to those environmental factors.

Scope & Content: Sub-series of hut registers from Abbot Hut produced by the Alpine Club of Canada between 1954 and 2017.

Topics include daily life in Banff, more work on Peter and Catharine's home, Fern Brewster's engagement and marriage, land and lots along Bow Avenue, news in Concord [including the death of Catharine's Aunt Helen and Edith Morse Robb's health], conversations with Earl Spencer, the death of Ruth Carpenter Mather [and subsequent reactions of family and locals], visiting and sketching in Yoho, a trip with Barbara Carpenter White to Vancouver, a trip with Barbara Carpenter White and Mary Schaffer Warren to Yoho, Catharine trading a painting for a grizzly hide, Peter getting a commission to paint a pair of portraits, Peter and Catharine's work hanging at the Banff Springs Hotel, painting trips to Larch Valley, Lake O'Hara and other locations, attending the Calgary Stampede [and corresponding art exhibition and an invitation to participate from Gwen[?] Hutton], and interactions and house visits from locals and others [including Norman Luxton, Jackie White, Fern Brewster, Tex Woods, the Moore family, the Brewster family, Earl Spencer, Barbara Carpenter White, Allan Mather, Fred Armbrister, Betty Painter, Belmore Browne, Mary Schaffer Warren, Frances James, Vic Kutschera, Carl Rungius, Frances and Murray Adaskin, Charlie Beil, Lila White Stockand, Norman Knight, Rupe and Chessy Edwards, Cyril Paris, Ted Paris, Dorothy White, Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Oakes [from Boston], Dan McCowan, Mr. Polenski, Mr. Kingsman, and Annie White].

Notes: Please note: language pertaining to Indigenous Peoples, people of colour, and those of the Jewish faith used throughout is outdated and offensive. Some items were stapled together and therefore scanned together as one document. Letters are all handwritten and include some hotel and camp letterheads. Some letters are marked with a small x in pencil, indicating where Jon Whyte made notes for use in his project "Catharine Robb Whyte, Peter Whyte: Commemorative Portfolio," originally published in 1981. Some letters also have numbers written in pencil crayon, believed to be from when originally processed.

History / Biographical: Stereographs are photographs of the same subject taken from slightly different angles. These photos, displayed side by side in a stereoscope, would be viewed at close range, forcing the eye to overlay the two photos to create a 3D effect. Stereoscopes could be hand held or mounted to a table or other surface. Stereographs could be made with a single camera, moved slightly from the first image taken; specialized dual-lens cameras streamlined the process. Stereographs can be made with precious metals, glass, paper, and celluloid bases with any kind of photographic process.
