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

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

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.
