History / Biographical: James McNay was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, on January 31, 1907. Between 1951 and 1953, he worked in the payroll department for Alcan. He had to leave his wife Effie and his two young daughters, Margaret and Diane, aged 6 and 5 in 1951, at home in Surrey, B.C., during his 3-4 month stints in Kitimat. To fill some of his free time and show his family where he was and what Kitimat was like, he spent many hours walking in the area with a 35mm Kodak camera. He photographed the scenic beauty of the area and parts of the construction of both the smelters and the town. He died in Surrey on August 7, 1983.

Custodial History: Donated by Margaret McNay. Images were taken by her father and sent to their family in Surrey in the 1950s.

Scope and Content: Slide showing large pile of black barrels. Dirst road on left with truck coming up it. On the right is an arch building, a crane, and part of transmission station arch.
