File consists of material from Dorse’s production of a postcard for the Kootneay Canoe, including photographs and research about the canoe. The outer envelope which originally contained these items had the following text: “see postcard 17608-D” and “75M023.”

File includes reproductions of archival photographs, including an image of the town of “Quesnelle” from ca. 1890 and an image of a man on a horse at a rodeo.

File consists of pages from a journal used by Dorse to keep track of photographs that he took. It contains pages full of lists of photographs, each one with a stamp indicating the year and the number of the photograph within that year (some of these are handwritten rather than stamped) as well as a brief description of the photograph’s contents. Content of the images listed in the book ranges from wedding and other commercial photography to nature and miscellaneous scenery. It is likely that the photographs included in this journal were taken for other people (such as weddings), for postcards, or for personal use. It is possible that some of these listings correspond to other photographs, negatives, slides or postcards in this fonds, but no obvious connection has been identified.

File consists of postcards contained in a spiral bound book, some of which have come loose from the binding. These postcards do not appear to have photos taken by Dorse, but rather contains stock images. It is not clear what Dorse used this book for. It is possible that he used these stock images for some of the cards that he printed, sold these stock postcards along with his own, or has sold photographs he took as stock photos. Many of the postcards have annotations in ink on the back. Some of the images are of specific places, with labels, and others are more general in nature, often unlabeled. Also contained in the book are three copies of an order form for these postcards, one of which has annotations. These annotations appear to be lists of image numbers.
