Abstract
Several amateur photographers lived and worked in the Coal Branch, a series of mining communities in the eastern foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains in Alberta. These communities were transient and very isolated from the rest of the province. Among the photographers working there were Allan Godby and Charles Lee, whose photographs are housed at the Provincial Archives of Alberta. The photographs of Godby and Lee present a unique record of life in the Coal Branch and provide particular insight into the social structures of that community as well as offering a mediated visual document of imposed settlement in pristine wilderness.
