I have to begin by saying that it was indeed a long break away from the Willis S. Jones papers. Traveling back home during the winter holidays was indeed rejuvenating. Coming back to work, I began the first week by continuing my work on the metadata of the items I had scanned and photographed last year.
I am surprised to know there are still new subject terms and locations that seem to arise even after adding many terms from the previous folders. Some of the locations have been modified over the years and a simultaneous research had to be done on them in order to maintain accuracy. One of the items that caught my eye was the Nevada-California electric lines map. It was quite fascinating to see how the planning and construction was done to form an electric line from Churchill County in Nevada to the border of Southern California, ending near San Diego. The following materials that followed were proposals on the rates the electric corporation established along with a mini-book on the rules and regulations of the corporation.
