- History / Biographical
- Esther Fraser, d.1978, was a writer based at Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Fraser studied education at the University of Alberta, taught briefly and wrote scripts for radio school broadcasts. Her major works centered on the history of the Canadian Rockies. "The Canadian Rockies: Early Travels and Explorations" was published by M. G. Hurtig Ltd. of Edmonton in 1969 and quickly became a popular standard work, selling over 20,000 copies. "Wheeler," Fraser's biography of Arthur Oliver Wheeler, was published in 1978 by Summerthought of Banff.
- Scope & Content
- Fonds consists of literary and research papers pertaining to Fraser's research and writing projects.
- I. Canadian Rockies book project, 196-, including research files (notes, correspondence, sound recording); manuscript drafts (including illustrations); and other material pertaining mainly to publication and post- publication activities. Project records include correspondence, notes and sound recording re Jimmy Simpson.
