Postcard depicts Illecillewaet Glacier from the Railway. "One of the chief attractions for tourists is the Illecillewaet Glacier, and, while not the largest in the Canadian Rockies, it is the most accessible and in every way representative of these most interesting natural phenomena. A trip across its face leaves a lasting impression on one's memory. The Illecillewaet River takes its rise from the great glacier of the Selkirks."

Collection consists of photographs and plans relating to the construction of bridges, trestles, and stations of the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway, ca. 1913, collected or created by George W.H. Jackson, a surveyor who worked for the CNPR. The railway, incorporated in 1910, existed in name only as a subsidiary of the Canadian Northern Railway, and began construction around 1913. The materials include:

  • 148 photographs showing surveying, worksites, and views along the route. Many of the images are captioned and/or dated, presumably by Jackson.
  • 94 blueprint plans detailing work on bridges, trestles, station hours, etc. with elevations, details of construction, and materials; one larger blueprint shows the rail route over Kicking Horse Pass.
