Content Description From the Collection: The collection contains both slides and photographs taken during the pipeline construction. Subjects include personnel, equipment, bridge construction, the winter environment, wildlife, pump stations, Port Valdez, the Haul Road and the terminal. There are several views of archaeologists from UAF working at the site. The 589 slides generally correspond to six typewritten progress reports, which begin in March 1976, when the pipeline was about 45% complete, and end in April 1977 at 95%...

Snow-covered mountains of the Chugach Rangte loom in the background of Thompson Pass, where a cable tram was set up to haul materials and pipe up the 2,500-foot slope. At places, the pipeline rises at a 45-degree angle at Thompson Pass, near the southernmost section of the 800-mile trans Alaska pipeline., 1974 - 1977

A section of 48-inch pipe, pre-bent and pre-coated, awaits backfilling near Thompson Pass, about 20 miles northeast of Valdez. Blowing snow which filled the ditch had to be removed before the backfilling could begin. On extreme grades, a special concrete mixture was used to backfill the pipe., 1974 - 1977

A cage of fabricated metal tubing protects workers as they spread concrete grout in a special pipe ditch section at Atigun Pass on the trans Alaska pipeline project. The cages were constructed because crews working the ditch otherwise would be vulnerable to falling rocks from the steep slopes in the area., 1974 - 1977
