This accession consists of one register entitled "General Record of Registered Letters", and was compiled by Post Office employees at Lake Harbour.

The records document a North/South bound air mail service schedule dated 1929-1930.

This accession consists of one envelope bearing a postmark stamped 30 June 1989, the last day of business for the first Frame Lake South Post Office operated in Yellowknife.

This fonds consists of 580 copy negatives (35 mm) and 196 prints which are duplicates of the negatives. These are copies of photographs which belonged to Wop May. Though many of the images are not dated, however, the original photographs appear to date from circa 1928 to 1948. Many of the photographs were taken in northern Alberta, but locations within the Northwest Territories include Aklavik, Fort Norman, Rae, Arctic Red River, Hay River, Fort Providence, Fort Simpson, and Fort Resolution. The images include pilots, aircraft, and various aspects of air mail delivery.

This fonds also includes one map which appears to have been published in the Edmonton Journal. The map depicts Canada Post's inaugural air mail flight on December 10, 1929 between Edmonton and Aklavik piloted by Wop May.
