Staff —Klondike Mystery

This site was a team effort. The co-directors for the project were Ken S. Coates, Dean of Arts, University of Waterloo, and William R. Morrison, Professor of History, University of Northern British Columbia. They wrote the introductory texts, historical contexts and the biographies of the cast of characters. In addition, they contributed interpretations that explain the circumstances surrounding the Klondike mystery. An additional interpretation was written by David Neufeld of Parks Canada, Whitehorse. The research team was made up of six dedicated young scholars:

Darren Friesen, Senior Research Assistant (Vancouver)
Nanci Henderson, Senior Research Assistant (Waterloo)
Jennifer Friesen, Research Assistant (Vancouver)
Sakura Minami, Research Assistant (Waterloo)
Thomas Bruce, Research Assistant (Waterloo)

They visited a number of archives and locations to conduct research, and selected the documents that appear on this site. They also proofread the documents.

Ruth Sandwell created the teachers’ guides.
