BACKGROUND NOTE

Many of the photographs were collected from various sources for publication of a book, Planning for Offshore Oil Development, by Lois S. Kramer, Veronica C. Clark, and George J. Cannelos published in 1978. The rest of the images may have been DCRA file photos deemed not worthy of saving as the department moved to another building in 1999.

The collection includes photographs of activity and personnel in the oil drilling industry. Several Alaskan communities are represented. Places photographed are primarily on Prince of Wales Island and include, Barrow, Craig, Hydaburg, Kasaan, Klawock, Point Baker, Port Protection, Thorne Bay, and others.
