Description An account of the resource Tru-Vue manufactured this stereoscopic viewer to commemorate the completion of the Hoover Dam. Typically available in multiple colors, stereoscopic viewers were made primarily of Bakelite, an early plastic. The viewer has an aesthetic of Art Deco, a decorative style that became popular in the mid-1910s and took various incarnations through the late-1930s. Users advanced 35mm filmstrips through the viewer to operate the Tru-Vue using a built-in lever, and each frame appears in three dimensions when held up to a light source. This example, produced in the late 1930s, offers a photographic tour of Boulder Dam shortly after its construction.

Description An account of the resource Designed to compliment a lady's dressing table, this boudoir lamp features a translucent “depression-glass” base, discernable by its sapphire blue color and bubble pattern. The matching yellow lampshade is made of offlined cardboard. Due to its low production cost, depression glass was a common choice for home decor in the late 1920s and 1930s. It was often very cheap and, sometimes, given away for free. Depression glass was manufactured for several decades until production ceased in the mid-20th century. Items made of depression glass are popular amongst collectors today for their various hues and patterns and their significance in American history.

The book includes a brief synopsis of the company town's operations and living conditions for dam workers under Six Companies, Inc. In addition, recipes from the Green Hut Cafe allowed tourists to take home a piece of Boulder City's Historic District with them. First established in 1932, the Grace Community Church housed the Ladies' Aid Society, which several women in the town joined while their husbands went to work. The church continues to serve as a pillar of Boulder City’s community today.

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.

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.

Title A name given to the resource Hard Hat Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived BCMHA Archives, Reserved Collections, Hard Hats, 006.035.1, Boulder City, Nevada. Description An account of the resource This hard hat belonged to Elton Garrett, one of Boulder City’s most well-known residents, during his time as a reporter for the Las Vegas Age. 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.

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.

Description An account of the resource Although the first hand-operated egg beaters have been around since the mid-1800s, it was not until many years later that they morphed into this more recognizable design. The Maynard Manufacturing Company, based in Glendale, California, began producing whisks such as these in the 1950s based on a 1923 patent. This appliance includes pastel yellow plastic handles and stainless-steel whisks. Before the prevalence of electric kitchen tools, a manual egg-beater like this was a labor-saving kitchen appliance.

Description An account of the resource Evening wear calls for a black cashmere overcoat. The details on this single-breasted heavyweight coat include two jetted pockets, three buttons, and cuffs. The top and middle buttons are stitched with purple and green thread, respectively, suggesting that these buttons are not in their original condition and restitched. The formality of this coat offers a sharp contrast to the relaxed look of men’s workwear at the dam site. Fun Fact!

Known at the time as coveralls, these carpenter-style overalls had useful features, including four front pockets, engraved brass hardware, hammer loops, and a Hercules brand label. The Hercules brand was manufactured and sold by Sears, Roebuck, and Co. in the early twentieth century and was widely known for its quality work clothes. It notes that Sears distributed its catalog to many area residents. Some may have got this catalog, but it was due to Boulder City Co.
