Trans Canada Yellowhead Highway AssociationThe fonds consists of the minutes, bylaws, financial statements, correspondence, photographs, memorabilia, and newsletters of the Klondike Trailer Club, the Coachmen Travel Club, and the Klondike Coachmen RV Club. The majority of the records were generated by the Klondike Trailer Club from its establishment in 1966 until its amalgamation with the Coachmen Travel Club in 2000. Also included are records generated during the Klondike Trailer Club’s membership with the Alberta Travel Trailer Association and its successor, the Camping Club of Alberta.
Some of the objects included with the records are signs meant for placement on recreational vehicles to signify membership with the Club, a picket sign of the Klondike Trailer Club’s mascot ‘Klondike Mike’ which denotes the trailer unit’s membership number, a patch, a hat, and pins.
The photographs include images of Klondike Travel Club events from both summer and winter gatherings. The photographs have been processed in the albums in which they were donated in order to provide context for the unlabelled and unidentified images.
