Historia biográfica

Mary Schaffer, 1861-1939, also known as Mary Schaffer Warren, was an American explorer, photographer and artist who visited the Canadian Rockies and Selkirk Mountains frequently beginning in 1888, finally settling in Banff, Alberta in 1912. Born Mary Townsend Sharples to moderately wealthy Quaker parents at West Chester, Pennsylvania, she first visited the Canadian Rockies and Selkirk Mountains in 1888 with her friend Mary Vaux. She returned the following year with her husband, Dr. Charles Schaffer, and until Charles died in 1903, the Schaffers travelled annually to the mountains to study botany. Using Dr. Schaffer's data and her drawings and photographs, Mary Schaffer and Stewardson Brown completed "Alpine flora of the Canadian Rocky Mountains" in 1907. Schaffer continued to travel in the Canadian mountains, often through remote regions. In 1908, she reached Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park, Alberta, and returned in 1911 to survey the region. "Old Indian Trails of the Canadian Rockies," 1911, recounts her adventures of 1907 and 1908. Schaffer settled in Banff in 1912 and married her guide, Billy Warren, in 1915.

Historial de custodia

Lantern slide programs titled In the Heart of the Canadian Rockies were in the possession of Tom Lonsdale and were donated by the estate in 1976. In 2002, they were transferred from the Tom Lonsdale and Florence Lonsdale fonds to the Mary Schaffer fonds. Philip and Pearl Moore and Charles and Edmee (Moore) Reid were friends of Schaffer. Philip Moore owned the Warren house for a time and Charlie Reid, Moore's son-in-law, lived in the house for many years. An active exchange of lantern slides amongst Mary Schaffer, Philip Moore and Tom Lonsdale may account for the range of material acquired through these estates. Five by seven inch negatives from 1902 and 1903 were in the possession of the Vaux family, life-long friends of Schaffer, and accompanied a major gift of Vaux records in 1999. Photograph albums (except album re Asia), some prints, and postcard album were at one time the property of Frank Douglas of Banff, chauffeur to Billy and Mary Warren during the 1930s and caretaker of the Warren's home Tarry-a-while. They were acquired by the Provincial Archives of Alberta in 1990.
