Papers of Carl J. Hoffman, 1915-2002.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/99756124

The Papers of Carl J. Hoffman consists of documents dated from 1915 to 2002, with the bulk falling from 1940 to 1968. Despite Hoffman's involvement in high-profile reclamation efforts such as the Hoover Dam, Grand Coulee Dam, and Colorado-Big Thompson Project, the collection's focus is on small dams and lesser-known projects. The material is primarily technical in nature and relates mostly to Hoffman's service with the Bureau of Reclamation, providing insights into hydrological engineering techniques and approaches prevailing at the time. The collection also contains engineering data and cost estimates for a variety of reclamation projects throughout the West. Documents include engineering books, manuals, design data, reports, notes, memoranda, maps, drawings, project account ledgers, and project design summaries.
