Scope and Contents

Materials contain photographs of the Hoover Dam and surrounding areas from 1930 to 1965.

The dam impounds Lake Mead, the country's largest reservoir, and it provides hydroelectric power to Nevada, Arizona, and California.

The area originally belonged to Puebloan peoples. Additionally, the materials contain photographs of the town of St. Thomas, which was also submerged beneath Lake Mead.
