- History / Biographical
- Operation hay drop, a project headed by local guide outfitters and sponsored by Northwest Wildlife for the Future, was intended to feed hungry deer in the Bulkley Valley after heavy snowfalls buried their natural food sources and caused them to stray into farmlands and highways.
- Custodial History
- Photo was originally taken by Interior News staff for publication in the paper. It was retained by the News until being transferred to the Bulkley Valley Museum, likely in 2007, as part of a large donation of photographs, negatives, and textual records. Item was stored in Room 6 until being found in collections and accessioned in Fall 2020.
