The Ralph L. Parshall Collection consists of documents dated 1902 to 1002. with the bulk falling from 1921 to 1961. While Parshall is the focus of the collection, there is relatively little personal correspondence and few of his personal files are contained here. Materials in the collection include Parshall's patent on his "Venturi flume water stage recording instruments," awards that Parshall received, publications, copies of talks he presented on KOA radio in Denver, and a number of lantern slides depicting flumes, weirs, plans, and various graphs and tables. The collection contains some materials related to Parshall's son, Maxwell Parshall, as well as to Carl Rohwer, also from the Irrigation Investigation Section of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
