Scope and content
Inscription in the album says it contains a “pictorial record of my soujourn in Kootenay National Park and on Texada Island and visits elsewhere.” In June 1943, Brown was transferred to serve at a sawmill in Blubber Bay on Texada Island—other objectors worked at the Pacific Lime Company plant. He deserted his service that Christmas, served 30 days in Oakhalla prison, and then returned to service at Kootenay National Park clearing fire trails.
The album contains mostly photographs but concludes with ca. 20 postcards. These collected images, many with captions, depict locations such as Castle Mountain, Simpson Pass, the Alberta-British Columbia border, Banff, Marble Canyon, Golden, Radium, Glacier, Powell River, Revelstoke, Lake Louise, and Hawk Creek. There are also photographs of visits from Brown’s sister and friends.

Arrangement
Album was removed from file, interleaved, and stored in box 2 with the second album. Photographs and negatives originally loose in envelopes within the album have been removed from the file, housed, and placed in photograph storage. File contains the two envelopes that held photographs and negatives.
Photographs and postcards, both those secured in the album and those separate from it, were individually numbered. Negatives were numbered according to their corresponding photograph when possible. The following negatives were removed from Photo Album 2 (RBSC-ARC-1769-1-02), numbered and stored with negatives from this album due to the corresponding photograph’s placement in this album: RBSC-ARC-1769-PH-1-188, 191, 192, 193, 197, 200, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 209, 210, 211, 212, 214, 217, and 224 (negs). Negatives RBSC-ARC-1769-PH-1-265 and 266 were originally in a separate file and not associated with either album, but the archivist has included them with Photo Album 1 because they depict images related to the album.
