Through archival deep-dives, micro-film hunts, museum visits and interviews with seasoned Yukoners, stories will be shared that may not have made front-page news but should have. Think of the project as a yearbook Frankensteined together with a Pierre Berton anthology.
Lead: Tedd Tucker
Team members: Amy Kenny and Rae Mombourquette

Lead: John Serjeantson
Team members: Zach Clanton and Rob Cohen
