Photographs; employee newsletters; correspondence; clippings; brochures; departmental memoranda; and other material. The majority of the items are related to Seattle City Light activities and employees, although some seem to relate to Mr. Park's personal interests. There is a fair amount of material relating to J.D. Ross, superintendent of Seattle City Light, especially from around the time of his death in 1939. While there are a few early items, the bulk of the material is from the late 1930s through the 1950s. For more detailed descriptions, see the online finding aid.
