Barry M. Goldwater Historic Photograph Collection, ca. 1850-ca. 1960.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/131371541

Original order unknown. It is arranged by subject. Many of the photographs are fragile due to age and high rate of use. The photographs cover a variety of subjects pertaining to Arizona. These include views of desert flora and fauna, landscapes, military, mining, Native Americans, agriculture, buildings, street scenes, transportation, and various people and places. The collection also contains a small number of glass plate negatives and lantern slides depicting Native Americans. These images have been made available in digital form for ease of use. Special Note: Included within this collection is a rare photograph album "Appendix B: Photographs" located in box 12 OV. This album was a supplement to the Report based on reconnaissance investigation of Arizona land irrigable from the Colorado River. In 1922, the State Water Commissioner created the Arizona Engineering Commission to survey the state of Arizona and determine how much of the land could be irrigated by the Colorado River. The photographs and accompanying captions in the album are referred to within the report. This land survey was in fact the precursor to the creation of the Arizona Colorado River Commission and the many legal battles that followed over the state's ownership of water rights. It is unknown how many of these albums were created.
