Additional Description

Immediate Source of Acquisition

The images were apparently discarded by DCRA (Department of Community and Regional Affairs) during the 1999 move from the building on Third St., Juneau. Ron Klein “rescued” the images and donated the collection to the Alaska State Library in 2001. Accession no. 2002-53.

General

BACKGROUND NOTE

Many of the photographs were collected from various sources for publication of a book, Planning for Offshore Oil Development, by Lois S. Kramer, Veronica C. Clark, and George J. Cannelos published in 1978. The rest of the images may have been DCRA file photos deemed not worthy of saving as the department moved to another building in 1999.

Processing Information

The images were organized according to place, primarily communities, projects, and source. Some of the photographs were used for publication; they are mounted and taped to boards. Some boards have been removed; all should be completed after information on boards is transcribed. Slides and photographs are housed in mylar and acid-free folders.
