People at Bompas Grave in Carcross

People at Bompas Grave in Carcross

Item is a hand-tinted glass lantern slide of nineteen people (adults and children) taking flowers to a grave. Based on the rest of the collection and general aspect, photograph might have been taken in Carcross, Yukon and the grave might be of Bishop Bompas, first Bishop of Selkirk (later Yukon) who died in 1906. Bishop Bompas founded the ChoutlaResidential School. Item is similar to item no. 620, fonds 008 Missionary Society of the Church of England in Canada (MSCC) fonds, from the Anglican Church of Canada General Synod Archives.

Lantern slides shows were used during the 1920s and 1930s by the Church of England in Canada to promote the work of their missionaries and to raise funds. The slide shows took place during missionaries’ services, church services, Sunday school groups, and special church programs. Usually, the slide shows were complemented with a text with basic commentary on the mission and content of the slides.
