Produced with canvas, leather, and black paint, this hard hat is similar in composition to those first manufactured by Edward W. Bullard in 1919. The word “JOURNAL” was painted across the side of the hat in white lettering so that others could quickly identify Garrett as press amongst construction workers while he visited the dam site. Most notably, Six Companies, Inc. required all workers to wear protective headgear while on the job, marking the construction of the Hoover Dam as the first project to enforce a hard hat policy.

This hand-crafted, decorative accessory features a series of stacked cables arranged into the shape of a tower. The bare metal plaque attached to the base suggests the article is incomplete. Workers took scraps from the construction site to their homes. They also crafted more necessary items, such as silverware and lamps, because many did not bring their belongings when they moved to the area.

The binoculars feature minimal detail, but include a center focus knob between the eyepieces that controls visibility through the lenses. The dark brown leather case has a metal clasp for security and an adjustable carrying strap for portability. Formerly owned by a resident of Boulder City, this particular set was perhaps once used to observe nearby parts of the Black Canyon or to watch the construction of the Hoover Dam from a distance.

This copy of Pence and Ketchum's 1932 edition of Surveying Manual belonged to civil engineer and longtime Boulder City resident Harry C. Hall. During the early 1900s, Surveying Manual became an essential text for students in the field because it included information about basic surveying methods and general instructions. Texts such as this also provided invaluable knowledge for the Dam's engineers to resolve technical issues they encountered.

Modern Home Physician is an example of a medical reference book designed for practical use in the home.

Description An account of the resource The original Johnson & Johnson brand First-Aid Kit entered the commercial market in 1888. However, increased travel in the early 1920s prompted the company to create this pocket-sized "Travelkit." This portable, tin kit is packed with essentials to treat minor injuries in remote locations, including BAND-AID brand bandages, antiseptic, and burn ointment. The compactness of the Travelkit made it ideal for people "on the go," or where medical care facilities were scarce, like at the Hoover Dam construction site at the Black Canyon.

Title A name given to the resource Wooden First-Aid Kit Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived BCMHA Archives, Reserved Collections, Medical, 001.114.68, Boulder City, Nevada. Description An account of the resource Compared to Johnson & Johnson's "First-Aid Travelkit," this medical kit includes additional equipment for more extensive care. The contents are kept together in a large wooden box held securely by two gold metal clasps. Most notably, this case is made distinct by the letters "BC" painted on the right and a large "4" painted on the left. These features suggest that the box was part of a collection of medical kits used at the dam site or a nearby hospital in town. The immense dangers posed to construction workers at the Hoover Dam necessitated easy access to medical equipment such as this portable kit.

Title A name given to the resource Hand Mirror Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived BCMHA Archives, Reserved Collections, Miscellaneous Personal Items, 001.114.74, Boulder City, Nevada. Description An account of the resource This delicate handheld mirror once belonged to a Boulder City resident. The front of the mirror features an oval-shaped glass encapsulated by yellow marbled celluloid. On the back is a decorative motif that adds to its elegance. Marbled celluloid was a popular style choice for household items because it was easily mass-produced at a consumer-friendly price point. Made of pressed wood pulp treated with chemicals, celluloid became a practical replacement for ivory, which was becoming more difficult to procure because of pressure from environmentalists in the first decades of the twentieth century.
