How a city grew
The Salt Lake City Engineers Photograph Collection provides an excellent look at how Salt Lake City developed between 1902 and 1932. The collection documents the construction of the infrastructure in Salt Lake City and surrounding areas, including roads, sewers, irrigation systems, curb and gutters, street lighting, street repairs, comfort stations, mills, dams, reservoirs, bridges, etc.
1,000 glass plate negatives have been digitized for this collection, supported through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
