Mr. Neal donated his collection of films, slides, and sound recordings to Yukon Archives in 1993. The slides are organized in the form of a slide show that is narrated by Mr. Neal on his sound recording. The complete slide show, including 140 photographs, is presented here along with the transcribed sound recording (Yukon Archives. Phillip Neal fonds, 93/9, SR 165 (1)).
