Visual materials, c. 1900-1986 and 2016-2020
Scope and Contents
The majority of photographs in this series document either the 1980 Big Thompson flood or the 1982 Lawn Lake flood, and a few show earlier days of the ditch. Though people appear in some of the images, none are identified. Photographs are arranged in chronological order. Corresponding negatives are noted below but housed separately. Listed at the end are computer media, including DVDs of pipe inspections that contain videos, photographs, and reports, and a similar thumb drive.
