Yukon Bibliographies
HHSY has produced bibliographies of Asian and Black people in Yukon history to enable more in-depth studies. These bibliographies list individuals and families known to us, as well as available sources about them. Bibliographies also include special topics like the contribution of Black soldiers to the building of the Alaska Highway and Japanese climbing expeditions to Mount Logan. Do you have more to add? We would love to hear from you!
