Biographical history
No information available. Function: The Yukon Waterways Site study was sponsored by Parks Canada which was studying the Yukon as a heritage site. The riverboats, Dawson City and the Chilkoot Trail were also being assessed. The Yukon Waterways Sites study involved a crew of three men, J. R. Lisoway, J. D. Lisoway and A. Siepman, who photographed sites, cabins and ruins along a portion of the Yukon River. They arrived in Whitehorse on June 8, 1972, arranged for a boat and supplies, and began the study. The crew recorded sites along the Yukon River until September 1, 1972. Drafting was conducted by J. R. Lisoway, J. D. Lisoway, V. Dowie and P. A. Fielding from January to May 1973. They produced as-built structural plans and copies are at Canaadian Heritage - Parks Canada and Yukon Territorial Government Historic Sites.
