If you Google “Klondike Gold Rush” and click on images you will see hundreds of old photos. Probably 90% will be E. A. Hegg’s photos. The glass plates were heavy and Hegg stashed caches at various localities. Several people recognized the value and began saving his work. He also had 43 large albums of prints made from his negatives. Thirty three of these were found and saved, some pulled out of a garbage truck. The remaining 10 have never been found. In 1963 Mrs. Becker’s collection was obtained by the University of Washington. I believe the Glass plates and the 33 albums are in the University library.
By the way, we can thank Gunter Grundmann for the many Klondike photos from his post card collection. They are unique! Wouldn’t it be interesting if some of them were from the missing albums.

I remember when I did the inventory of historic items for the Copper Country Archives in the old C&H buildings, there were numerous glass plates from the Keweenaw including several by J.T. Reeder. Many know Reeder as a prolific mineral collector, but he was also an accomplished photographer in his day.
