Many photographs document domestic life from family gatherings to celebrations of new born babies. <br /> At its core this album depicts regional power planning flood control military and commercial harbors and the creation of automobile infrastructure which permanently altered the West Coast and Columbia River basin. Bonneville and Grand Coulee brought hydroelectric capacity irrigation planning and federal power policy into the center of Northwest development while the Bay Bridge and related Oakland-San Francisco work changed metropolitan circulation around the bay. The captions repeatedly tie people to machines and locations suggesting a family or work circle moving through construction jobs rather than a tourist album with incidental industrial views.

This archive documents the New Deal-era western construction through quarry faces truck yards draglines ferry crossings trailers named workmen and families following the work from site to site spanning the Bay Bridge to Hansen Dam. unknown
