Hello everyone,
My name is Cindy and this is my second week as a Council on
Library and Information Resources (CLIR) Claremont Center for Engagement with
Primary Sources (CCEPS) fellow. I am excited to contribute to the efforts to
digitize our Southern California water resources from the 19th to
the 20th centuries. These time points will allow us to understand
the efforts of water development from the lens of federal, state, and local
governments to the efforts from water companies and engineers. I believe this information will be significant
as these perspectives will be important to understand the future of water
conservation and help support future research.
This week I was scanning the San Bernardino County Flood
Control District: flood control reports from 1939 to 1949, along with Biennial/Annual Reports
from 1959 to 1962. Scanning these items has allowed me to have a further
appreciation for technology advances in scholarship and research. The ability
to quickly search and find online versions of documents can be overlooked. Therefore,
I am thankful for those who have contributed to the digitization of research
and scholarship. I look forward to
working with my fellow CCEPs fellows and Special Collections Staff.
