U.S.G.S. Old Timers Collection 1947-1995

http://www.azarchivesonline.org/xtf/view?docId=ead/nau/USGS_OldTimers.xml

This collection contains the records (textual, photographic, audio-visual) of a unique September 1994 trip down the Colorado River. Participants (mostly former river runners) were asked to reflect and compare conditions on the river with those prior to the damming of Glen Canyon in 1963. This was achieved through extensive oral histories; these form the bulk of the collection.

5.5 inches textual material, 45 oral history tapes (U-matic, VHS), 575 photographic images (prints, slides, negatives), memorabilia (patches, t-shirt), one moving image reel.
