NAME: Dally, Frederick.
LIFE DATES: 1838 07 29-1914 07 28.
BIRTHPLACE: Southwark, UK.
PLACE OF DEATH: Wolverhampton, UK.
WHERE ACTIVE: Victoria Barkerville.
BUSINESS ADDRESS/YEAR: Fort St., S. side near Government St./1866 06-1870 09 Barkerville/1868.
WORK INTERVAL: 1866 06-1870 09
STATUS: Commercial
BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY: Dally arrived in Victoria from England in September 1862. He operated a dry goods store at the corner of Government and Broughton in 1863 and moved his business in March 1864 to the northeast corner of Fort and Government in the Occidental building (Robinson’s Block).
The first ad announcing the opening of his photo studio on the south side of Fort St. across the street from his former dry goods store appeared in the Chronicle. His first major photographic journey was a circumnavigation  of a Vancouver Island as a guest of the Royal Navy on HMS Scout between August 8 and 20. Dally made two trips up to Barkerville, the first in 1867, the second in 1868. His studio in Barkerville in 1868 was destroyed in the September 16 fire and Dally returned to Victoria that November.
He sold his gallery in September 1870 to the Green Bros. and his business affairs in Victoria were wound down by Thomas Allsop (Allsop & Mason, later BC Land and Investment Agency). Dally went to Philadelphia to study dentistry and then returned to England. Richard and Hannah Maynard managed to acquire many of his glass negatives in the 1870s or 1880s which they then marketed under their own imprint. The Provincial Archives of BC purchased several of Dally's personal albums about 1914.

NAME: Darms, Herman A.
LIFE DATES: 1871 06 22-1946 09 11.
BIRTHPLACE: Wisconsin.

WHERE/WHEN ACTIVE: Dawson, Yukon/1902-1905 (photographer).
BUSINESS ADDRESS/YEAR:
HOME ADDRESS/YEAR: river front, north of St. Marty's Hospital/1902-1905.
STATUS:
SUMMARY: Born of Swiss immigrant parents (Baldazar and Elizabeth [Trueb] Darms), H.A. Darms lived in Yountville (Napa County), California, before moving to Dawson in 1898. He established himself as a printer under the name Darms Printing Co. and worked at this business until at least 1902. His business address was Third St.
Although how and where Darms learned to photograph is unknown, Elder & Grainger believe he apprenticed under a Dawson photographer. One possibility as an instructor is Lorenzo E. Robertson whose work Darms published in October 1903. Darms toured Yukon mining sites in the spring 1904 and an account of his trip was published in the Whitehorse Daily Evening Star.
By 1905 Darms added a third career skill to his repertoire: photo-engraver. He published The Yukon Illustrated booklet that January which was intended to be issued on a weekly basis. According to Elder & Grainger (1989), several versions were published over the course of 1905. Darms again travelled that year: in July he went with the American Institute of Mining Engineers to several mining sites. On his own that same month he visited the N.A.T. & T. operations on Miller and Glacier Creeks.
Following his return to his parents' home in Napa County, Darms took up farming and possibly continued for a while in photography. He apparently never married and was survived by a sister Mary Annie Frash, and two brothers, John and Henry Darms, all of Yountville. His death certificate, with information supplied by Mrs. Henry Darms, gives his occupation as coal miner. H.A. Darms was buried in Tolocay Cemetery.

BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY: A member of the British North American Boundary Survey, 1873-1874, which travelled only a short distance into the mountains beyond Waterton Lakes, Alberta, he was appointed to the Geological Survey of Canada staff in 1875. His photographs and report on the Haida peoples of the Queen Charlotte Islands (1878 report published 1880) continue to be invaluable to ethnographers. Dawson became director of the Geological Survey in 1895, but his career was cut short by his sudden death.
With William Ogilvie, a Dominion Land Surveyor, Dawson led the first official Canadian exploration of the Yukon Territory in 1887. Dawson's party entered the Yukon via BC from the Wrangell-Stikine River route. Dawson City, Yukon Territory, surveyed in January 1897 by Ogilvie, was named in his honour by traders and sawmill operators Joseph Ladue and Arthur Harper. Also named Dawson is the Dawson Range, YT.
