As part of our WWDL news blog, we are going to feature selected items from the many collections in the Western Waters Digital Library. This week’s item is a photo from the Grand Coulee Dam site, “Contractor’s Christmas Display,” which comes to the Western Waters Digital Library from Washington State University’s Frank Arthur Banks Collection. The Frank Arthur Banks Collection contains “project histories of several Bureau of Reclamation projects directed by Banks, ephemeral engineering publications connected with the Grand Coulee Project, printed items of restricted circulation such as engineering reports, and Banks’ correspondence, notes and papers re: private consultation projects, notably the Bhakra Dam in India.”

You can search the Western Waters Digital Library for more historic photos by choosing “image” under type on the advanced search page.
