Date Range: ca. 1910-1939

Physical Description: 33 photographs : b&w ; 10 x 15.5 cm or smaller

Scope & Content: File consists of 33 black and white photographs, 10 x 15.5 cm or smaller. Photographs pertain to community events and scenic places in and around Banff, primarily in the 1920's and 1930's. Photographs document Banff Winter Carnival/Festival, Banff Indian Days, swimming at Cave and Basin, Moraine Lake, and Lake Minnewanka.

Notes: One photograph is annotated on the back, "Moraine Lake"; The swimsuits that were used at the Cave and Basin were rentals and resemble those used between ca. 1915 and 1930; 3 photographs appear to be of a pharmacy; if it is Charlie Reid's pharmacy these photographs will date after 1936, as that is the year that Charlie opened his pharmacy. One of these photographs is annotated with "Part of our Fountain" on the back.
