Enjoy the mid-century design of this historic pamphlet from 1950, “What CVA means to you, the Columbia is our river”
This pamphlet was authored by The League for CVA and was designed to promote the creation of a Columbia Valley Administration organization. The pamphlet begins, “The Columbia is a river of gold–in terms of potential resources the RICHEST RIVER IN THE WORLD. Its waters and surrounding lands contain an almost inexhaustible supply of benefits, natural riches that are the key to the greatness of the Pacific Northwest.”
This item comes to Western Waters from the University of Washington’s Grand Coulee Dam collection, which “contains images of photographs and text documenting the creation of the Grand Coulee Dam, built during the first half of the twentieth century. Included are images of the Works Progress Administration work camps, land clearing activities, the moving of towns, and the dam construction itself. Also presented are documents outlining arguments both for and against this enormous undertaking.”
