O’Harra Collection, Glass Lantern Slides and Glass Plate Negatives SDSM&T Archives Devereaux Library South Dakota School of Mines & Technology Rapid City, SD 5/25/2016 SDSM&T Archives: C.C. O’Harra Collection, Glass Lantern Slides and Glass Plate Negatives page 1 Title C.C. O’Harra Collection: Glass Lantern Slides and Glass Plate Negatives Extent 1509 items: 1227 glass lantern slides, 282 glass plate negatives; 1358 unique images Scope and Content The C.C. O’Harra Collection consists of papers, publications, photographs, maps, and files of South Dakota School of Mines president and professor Cleophus Cisney O’Harra. The Devereaux Library’s glass lantern, sometimes referred to as magic lantern, collection consists of over 1200—3 ¼“ x 4” numbered slides and vary in subject matter from geology to meteorology to campus history and include photographs, drawings and maps of international, regional and historical interest. The glass plate negatives consist of 282 plates. The plates are of two size formats—4” x 5” and 5” x 7”, and have an unprotected photo emulsion on the back side. The purpose of the items was primarily instructional. They were produced either from a stationary camera, as shown in the photo or “on site” from a more portable unit. Glass plates were the first step in the reproduction process and, as is evidenced by the notations in the margins of many of the originals, were later submitted to a commercial photo processor to be made into glass slides Provenance The glass lantern slides and glass plate negatives have been a part of the university‘s holdings for several decades.

The company absorbed smaller utilities. It offered power and transmission services to other areas in collaboration with public power agencies and rural electric cooperatives. But tensions with the rural cooperatives were building over territories and customers.

    NRC-086 Submitted: June 20, 2014 Hydrology, Hazards, and Geomorphic Development of Gypsum Karst in the Northern Black Hills, South Dakota and Wyoming By JACK B. EPSTEIN U.S. Geological Survey, National Center, MS 926a, Reston, VA 20192 Abstract Dissolution of gypsum and anhydrite in four stratigraphic units in the Black Hills, South Dakota and Wyoming, has resulted in development of sinkholes and has affected formational hydrologic characteristics. Subsidence has caused damage to houses and water and sewage retention sites. Substratal anhydrite dissolution in the Minnelusa Formation (Pennsylvanian and Permian) has produced breccia pipes and pinnacles, a regional collapse breccia, sinkholes, and extensive disruption of bedding. Anhydrite removal in the Minnelusa probably dates back to the early Tertiary when the Black Hills was uplifted and continues today. Evidence of recent collapse includes fresh scarps surrounding shallow depressions, sinkholes more than 60 feet deep, and sediment disruption and contamination in water wells and springs. Proof of sinkhole development to 26,000 years ago includes the Vore Buffalo Jump, near Sundance, WY, and the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs, SD. Several sinkholes in the Spearfish Formation west of Spearfish, SD, which support fish hatcheries and are used for local agricultural water supply, probably originated 500 feet below in the Minnelusa Formation. As the anhydrite dissolution front in the subsurface Minnelusa moves down dip and radially away from the center of the Black Hills uplift, these resurgent springs will dry up and new ones will form as the geomorphology of the Black Hills evolves. Abandoned sinkholes and breccia pipes, preserved in cross section on canyon walls, attest to the former position of the dissolution front.

  • VPHS RCHPC Draft Essay Ri
    The Ridgeline and the Creek Landscape and Memory in Rapid City Executive Summary For millennia, the natural resources and allure of the Black Hills have drawn people to the region to hunt, explore, pray, recreate, and live in and around what is now Rapid City. The community sits where the open prairie meets rocky hills and thick forests. For generations, area residents have shaped their lives, in terms of both work and play, in response to the opportunities and limitations presented by these surroundings. High ridges on Skyline Drive and Cowboy Hill, flowing waters in Rapid Creek and Canyon Lake, and pine forests and grasslands fill the city limits. Rapid City’s scenery attracts visitors and transplants to the area. Although connections to place are articulated through different cultural and spiritual lenses, many residents feel a strong connection to the landscapes, waterscapes, and skyscapes in and around Rapid City. The settlement of Rapid City was part of the imposition of Euro-American land ethics onto the Northern Plains. Throughout Rapid City’s history, as in much of the American West, competition for land and natural resources has fueled tensions over public and private management, industry and development, and preservation and conservation. These tensions have shaped and reshaped the landscape even as natural forces have altered the environment through slow processes like erosion or climate change, as well as sudden disasters like floods, fires, and blizzards. The landscape that endures, reflected in public parks and open spaces, has played a critical part in building and sustaining community identity and character. In many cases, it has been preserved by private citizens and public policymakers at the behest of their constituents.
