Fonds No.: BF2

Accession No.: 1971.35; 1978.7; 1981.41; 1985.1; 1989.14; 2011.19; 2017.22; 2017.6; 2017.87; 2017.92; 2018.2; 2020.35

Physical Description: ~21.5 cm of textual record, 28 maps and blueprints

Date Range: [1910-1922], 1950, 1953

History / Biographical: Construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway commenced in 1905, under the direction of Charles Melville Hays. The present site of Prince Rupert was selected as the Pacific terminal and the community to be known as Smithers was made a station on the line. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway was taken over by the federal government in 1919 and eventually became a part of the Canadian National Railways system.

Scope and Content: Fonds consists of records created by or related to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, particularly its role in and around the Smithers area. It is divided into three series: 1) Administrative records, including time books, distribution of labour procedure, table of spirals used on Mountain Division an engineer trip ticket booklet, and a booklet of interior pole locations and functions, 2) Promotional materials, including two booklets of photographs related to the GTP, and 3) Maps and blueprints, including a map of the Smithers townsite and architectural blueprints for the Smithers railway station and water tanks.

Arrangement: Records were rearranged intellectually in September 2016 by Manda Haligowski to better reflect archival standards and to improve accessibility. Series #3 added by SK and WC October 2003. Series #4 added by SK, JY and WC November 1, 2003.

Notes: November 2016: Prince Rupert Terminus of the GTP book cover (1988.19) has been transferred to the Prince Rupert Archives. July 2020: An unknown item (ephemera) from 2009.67 has been recorded as being part of this fonds, but no such item has been identified. All 2009.67 items are listed elsewhere as part of the Canadian National Railways fonds (GF2), so it is possible that the accession number was added to BF2 in error.
