AHS-Rio Colorado Subject Photograph Collection TITLE: AHS Rio Colorado Subject Photograph Collection DATE RANGE: 1850s – 2000s CALL NUMBER: Y-PC100 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 57 linear ft. (78 boxes) PROVENANCE: Unknown, this collection comes from a variety of sources COPYRIGHT: Copyright varies. Please contact the archives RESTRICTIONS: This collection is unrestricted. CREDIT LINE: AHS Rio Colorado Subject Photograph Collection, Y-PC 100, Arizona Historical Society- Rio Colorado Division PROCESSED BY: Rebekah Tabah, 2015 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE: This collection represents approximately 18,000 photographs ranging from poor to good condition. The collection represents an aggregation of images from multiple and diverse sources. Most of these derive from previously un-catalogued, unprocessed, or poorly described materials. This collection is arranged by broad subject. Series I: Biography; this series contains both families and individuals that are identified. Note that unidentified individuals are found under “People” in the subject series. Series II: Subject; this series is arranged topically then chronologically into the following: Aerials, Agriculture, Animals, Businesses, Buildings, Churches and Cemeteries, Earthquakes, Fires, Floods, Houses and Ranches, Indians, Irrigation, Canals, and Dams; Law Enforcement and Crime, Military, Mining, Organizations, Parades, People, Places, Plants, Rodeo, Schools, Sports and Recreation, Transportation, and Yuma Scenes. Military - Covers a remarkable date range from 1850s (Ft. Yuma) to 1980s (Yuma Proving Ground, Marine Corps Air Station) documenting: the earliest military settlements along the Colorado River; the 1st Infantry of the Arizona National Guard training at Camps Ringgold and Kearney, California lead by Col. Donkersley and their deployment in the “border wars;” WWI and WWII training, equipment, and maneuvers including Patton’s tank exercises; Cold War testing of equipment, weapons and the evolution of drones; women who served in WWI and WWII; and Yuma’s long-time appreciation of the military. See also Oversized. Irrigation, Canals and Dams – Of all the subjects, this is the most well-documented. Offers many perspectives on the largest irrigation project in the world from 1880s – 1960s. Ranges from surveys and engineering (Bureau of Reclamation) to construction (equipment, housing and workers) and the final results (dams, canals, agriculture/water AHS Rio Colorado Photograph Collection – 1 of 26 users, and overall impact on Yuma County.) These images reflect the relative skills of professional and amateur photographers which account for the mix of exquisite detail in the mechanics of the construction and the candid shots of those doing the labor. See also Agriculture Oversized as well as the Colorado River Irrigation Projects Collection Y-MS 61. Mining: While not every mine or mining district is represented, the larger enterprises such as Fortuna are well-documented. Considering the relatively short span (1880s- 1910s), these photos vividly capture miners (men and women) and their way of life. Most of these sites are now ghost towns. Many of the later photos were taken by former inhabitants returning to reminisce. For aerial survey photos, see the Cargo Muchacho Mining District Collection Y-PC 5.

  • Arizona Highways
    CUMULATIVE INDEX· ARIZONA HIGHWAYS VOLUME 1, 1925 through VOLU~IE 27, 1951 ARTICLES appearing in ARIZONA HIGHWAYS from volume 1 in 1925 through volume 27 in 1951 are indexed here under author and subject. Indexing is similar to that found in READERS' GurnE TO PERIODICAL LITERATURE; each article is listed under the heading or headings most closely indicating the general subject matter. This is not a detailed analytical index to contents of articles. The user will find, for instance, those articles which deal with Katchinas, but not the names of various Katchinas discussed in the articles. Very general headings such as DESCRIPTION have been used only where more specific headings were not possible. A series of tall tales which appeared during early years of the magazine have been listed under that heading. Portraits have been indexed wherever there was a clear likeness. Group por­ traits have been incJuded when likenesses were clear and recognizable. There is a special index to color illustrations which have been an outstanding feature of ARIZONA HrGHWAYS for the past 10 years. Generally each picture has been listed under a single subject, the one which in the fallible judgment of the compiler, seemed most appropriate. It is hoped this will be of use to teachers and armchair travelers. ♦ COMPILED BY DONALD M.
