Established in 1872, Her Majesty's British North American Boundary Commission acted jointly with an American Boundary Commission to survey the international boundary from the Lake of the Woods to the Rocky Mountains.

These photographers not only worked on a survey which defined the geographical boundaries of Manitoba, they are creating records which are now one of the treasured holdings of the Archives.
