The publications series (1930-1983) contains magazines, travel guides, tourist pamphlets, and maps of the Southwest United States. Materials include Las Vegas tourist magazines with advertisements for local hotels and events. Travel guides for areas such as Death Valley and Hoover Dam are indicative of Woodruff’s time as a tour operator for Riddle Yellow Cab Scenic Tours Co. and provide documentation for the growth of American travel and the development of national parks. The series also contains many Henderson Industrial Days publications, dating from 1960 to 1973.
