História biográfica
Edward (Ed) Jordan came to the north in the 1940's to work as a Radio Operator in Arctic Bay and later on at a DEW-line (Distant Early Warning) site becoming the Station Manager. During his time living and working in Arctic Bay he made many friends both with Inuit and southerners. He was given the Inuktitut name of "Kajualuk" meaning "very brown" [?hair]. Two of his notable friends were Canon John H. Turner, Anglican Missionary and Father Guy Mary-Rousselière o.m.i. Roman Catholic Missionary. Ed Jordan was instrumental as radio operator during the time that Canon Turner required medical evacuation by plane and a daring rescue mission in late 1947. Ed's long term friendship with Father Mary, a renowned archaeologist, included trips to the North Baffin area to act as a field assistant during summer archaeological digs (in 1978 and again in 1986) and to visit old friends in the Pond Inlet area. During his 1990 visit to Pond Inlet he filmed his trip to the ice floe edge, with Pierre Quasa as local guide, and his walk up the Salmon River to the old open face coal mine. Ed Jordan died in April 1994 while living in Ontario.
História custodial
In 1995 the 78 b&w photographs were sent to the Librarian at Rebecca P. Idlout Library by Kathryn and Peter Jordan with the news that Ed had died. The family knew that his friends in the north would appreciate these photographs as their father had talked about his work and visits with such affection and was always going to send copies back to people. Most of the colour photographs and negatives were sent by the family later in 1995 as they sorted through their father's belongings further and realized these pictures were taken in the Pond Inlet area. Two colour photographs were taken by Philippa Ootoowak in 1990 when Ed visited his friend Father Mary and stayed in the old RC Mission building in Pond Inlet. All the photographs were subsequently transferred to the Pond Inlet Archives on its establishment in 2005. The video tape was donated by Ed Jordan himself in 1990 at the end of his visit to Pond Inlet.
Âmbito e conteúdo
The fonds consists of 78 b&w photographs taken in the Arctic Bay / Pond Inlet region. Several are of people, Inuit and southerners living in Arctic Bay at the time, and community life in the 1940's. In addition there are 69 col. negatives of which 20 are also in print form and 40 colour prints without negatives, taken on his trips north in 1986 and 1990. One VHS video tape contains film footage of a trip by snow-machine to the floe edge in late spring traveling on the sea ice, and a hike along the banks of the Salmon River [Akua] in July 1990 taken by Ed himself with his own commentary.
