- Black hard-sided leather case with a hinged lid that clasps shut with two metal clasps on either side of a metal hinge lock and metal corner braces. There are two metal bases attached to the lid where a handle may have been attached, handle missing. Faded leather strap is attached with metal clasps to rings mounted on both short sides of the case. There is a small square sticker, possibly a travel marker from Mexico, on the left-hand short side under the clasp. In the middle of the lid is a rectangular Canadian Pacific label that has “Film Case” written in black ink and a stamped “PROPERTY OF NICHOLAS MORANT BANFF, ALBERTA” in blue ink. Attached with a short piece of white string to the right-hand carry strap clasp is a paper Canadian Pacific tag that has something written in black ink that is badly damaged by water. A cataloguer tag is also attached to that clasp with “MORANT COLLECTION (film magazines)” written on it in black ink.The interior of the box is lined with a dark red fabric, possibly velvet and is divided into two compartments, the left one slightly larger than the right. The interior of the lid is also divided into two compartments that close off with snaps - small leather pull tabs allowed the compartments to be accessed. There are no manufacturer’s marks on the case. Found inside are three different film magazines.

- Description
- Three black metal and leather “GRAFLEX CUT FILM MAGAZINE,” used to store individual celluloid negatives mounted into individual sleeves housed inside the main body. Access to the main body is possible by removing the the thin back panel with a leather strap that slides up alongside the leather bag as well by pressing a button on the edge opposite the leather bag, allowing the front panel to pop open. On the front panel that can pop off is a small peephole accessible by a spring-hinged cover. Two of the magazines, marked with a red and a white strip of fabric, have the front panels taped closed with a small piece of masking tape.The three magazines are meant for different kinds of film. The one marked with a small strip of green fabric is meant for “KODAK EXTACOLOR Professional Type S (Short Exposure),” the one marked with the red fabric is meant for “KODAK EKTACHROME Film 6116, Type B (Process E-3),” and the one marked with the white fabric is meant for “KODAK TRI-X PAN SHEET FILM (ESTAR Thick Base).” The individual slides housed inside the magazine with the green fabric may have unprocessed fogged negatives still in them.

- A black, heavy, cast iron-like Apollo Sound 16mm film projector. It has a unique shape with an art deco type styling. One side of the projector features a switch and silver metal knobs where the tightly coiled spring would be placed to move the film. There is a label with instruction but is illegible due to wear, herringbone-shaped cut-outs below that expose some of the mechanisms of the projector, next to these cut-outs is where the power cord connects to the projector, and towards the front of the projector is another cord that becomes wire that is wrapped around a smaller spool. Along the back side, in raised letters, text reads “APOLLO [vertical] SOUND [horizontal]”. On the very back of the projector are two switches and a black knob that props the back of the projector up slightly. The other side of the projector is the same raised text that reads “APOLLO [vertical] SOUND [horizontal]” near the back, and there is also a a sloped pattern cut-out near the bottom that exposes the fan of the projector. This side features the main part of the projector with the lens, reels, and the track for the film. The top of the projector features a handle-like design.

- History / Biographical
- The Alpine Club of Canada, the national mountaineering club, was co-founded in 1906 by A. O. Wheeler and Elizabeth Parker, and other like-minded climbers. The club espoused scientific study and exploration, cultivation of art, public education, acquisition of climbing skills, and preservation of natural areas within the mountainous regions of Canada. Through a national executive, local sections and volunteer committees, the club provided climbing camps, clubhouse, huts, and publications, including the Canadian Alpine Journal. ACC expeditions and projects resulted in pioneer exploration, first ascents, and included mountain warfare training during the Second World War. In recent years, the club's membership has increased dramatically with the popularity of climbing and its programs have evolved to serve the needs of unguided climbers using sophisticated technical aids.
