Scope & Content
File consists of 2 cm of textual records, 43 x 28 cm, or smaller. File pertains to Murray Hay's work on various projects in Alaska, USA, specifically the Mount Roberts Tramway in Juneau and Anchorage's Olympic Bid for the 1992 Winter Olympics. File includes a map and/or illustration of the Mount Roberts Tramway in Juneau, Alaska; handwritten correspondence between Hay and "Ms. Hunter" and the mailing slip (1997); a rough sketch of Hay's illustrations; tourism information related to the Mount Roberts Tramway; and correspondence and a draft example of the map for the Olympic Bid.
Notes
The Mount Roberts Tramway has been in operation since 1996.
M570 / IV / A / 3 : date based on the potential connection between the records and the Olympic bid process for the 1992 Winter Olympics, for which Anchorage (Alyeska) submitted a bid using maps created by Murray Hay. The selection was determined in 1986.
Records were originally filed in two envelopes, labelled: "Mt. Roberts Trmw." and "Prince William Sound - Valdez." File titles reflect this.
