BACKGROUND:
The Bear Creek Complex forms part of the Klondike National
Historic Sites (KNHS). The Bear Creek Complex was the Klondike
headquarters for corporate mining interests from 1905-1966,

goldfields dredging operations and administration. In 1975,
Parks Canada purchased the Bear Creek Complex and used it for
archaeological and general works collection under control of
KNHS. The Bear Creek Complex is currently closed to the public.

primary abatement activities are focused in the interior spaces
of the Gold Room, including the process area, office and vault.
