The fonds consists of photographs taken from the Back and Bee family photograph albums by Austin Bee in 1989, and prints made of slides taken by Austin Bee on a return visit to the Yukon in 1963. The photographs album contained shots of the families' lives in the Carmacks area. Most of the photographs were taken by Lois Back Bee who was an amateur photographer and did her own developing and printing. Ida May Back and Austin Bee took some of the photographs. The fonds also includes letters written by Austin Bee in 1989 and 1990, to Yukon Archives and Pelly River Historical Society detailing his family's history in the Yukon. The prints of the slides from 1963 show Carmacks buildings, including the Goulter's cabin, the Post Office, the Carmacks Roadhouse, the diesel electric generating plant, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) building, Carmacks Hotel, Tom Bee's Trading Post, Howard and Alice McMillan's residence, the Carmacks school under construction, and Carmacks residents, Fritz Guder, Frank and Ida May Goulter, Bill Langham, and the postmistress, as well as Austin's travelling companion Colonel Frank Noyes.
