PREFACE
THE MORE THAN 3,500 CITATIONS LISTED HERE have been extracted from Volumes 1 and 2 of
THE GRAND CANON, a far more expansive, topically arranged worldwide bibliography of the
Grand Canyon and lower Colorado River regions of the United States and Mexico. (THE GRAND
CANON is a series of publications accessible online at https://ravensperch.org. Regarding the
name, see the note at the end of this preface.)
This bibliography focuses on the Hoover Dam, in the Colorado River on the Arizona–
Nevada boundary, its power plant, and appurtenant structures. Coverage spans the twentieth
century and the twenty-first to date. It includes all issues pertaining to conceptualization,
planning, physical construction, and work force management. Also listed are publications
concerning Boulder City, Nevada, principally during the period of construction. Many additional publications about more modern aspects of Boulder City will be found listed throughout
Part 2 of THE GRAND CANON, although from among them selected items about historical
subjects are cited herein, inasmuch as they reflect on the construction era. Items that pertain
to the new Visitor Center at Hoover Dam (1995), specifically its construction, are included as
a pragmatic matter, inasmuch as it is a part of the Hoover Dam infrastructural complex.
Similarly included are publications about things that are a part of the dam and other
infrastructure, such as plaques, memorials, and sculptures and other art work. Minor editing
may have been made to some of the original citations taken from THE GRAND CANON, in order
to eliminate comments that unnecessarily refer to places other than Hoover Dam.
Also cited are numerous brief notes that relate to contracts solicited and awarded (or
rejected) for the construction of Hoover Dam and Boulder City. These appear in trade publications like Building and Engineering News and Pacific Constructor, among others. However,
not all years of some publications were available to the compiler, so a representative selection
of these notices are taken from the early and later years of dam construction. Users thus
should be aware that intervening years will contain many more such bits of information. Those
that are cited herein offer an engaging narrative of activities in themselves, as well as
preserving interesting facts that might not be found elsewhere.
Items specifically about the geology of the prospective and chosen dam sites have
been copied from Part 11/Section 2 of THE GRAND CANON. Items copied from Part 28 of THE
GRAND CANON are published photographs that are not accompanied by textual material,
appearing by themselves with or without legend. These are noticeable by the appended
symbol, which is carried over from the main bibliography.

The bibliography does not include publications that pertain to Colorado River development and reclamation as such; water supply, management, and apportionment; the Colorado

THE HOOVER DAM BIBLIOGRAPHY
Anonymous (continued)
River Compact; hydropower contractual notices and concerns; the impact of climate change
on water resources and comparable publications on basin-wide issues. Legislative acts and
discussions, and judicial opinions and decisions, are not included unless they pertain to the
points of planning for and the physical construction of the dam, or to management of the
construction work forces. Issues relating to the formally named Boulder Canyon Project that
pertain to infrastructural projects other than Hoover Dam (for example, the All-American
Canal and projects in the Imperial Valley of California) are omitted, although some cited
publications embrace all of the projects. Part 12/Section 1 of THE GRAND CANON contains a
far more comprehensive listing of publications that embrace all of these topics, and which
also covers unrealized projects on the Colorado River and tributaries.
Lake Mead by itself is not generally considered in this bibliography; numerous citations
will be found with the General Publications citations in Part 2 of THE GRAND CANON. However,
the Raven’s Perch Media website offers a separate special bibliography on the biology, ecology, and environment of Lake Mead. Administrative concerns of the Lake Mead National
Recreation Area are relegated to Part 13.
Appendix 1 offers a list of publications about the Mike O’Callaghan–Pat Tillman
Memorial Bridge, earlier called the Hoover Dam Bypass, which otherwise is not directly a part
of the Hoover Dam infrastructural complex. These citations are extracted from Part 12/Section
2 of THE GRAND CANON, which lists publications about “Infrastructural Projects Along the
Colorado River Between Lower Glen Canyon and Mexico That Are Not Related To Water
Management Facilities”.
Appendix 2 offers a list of selected maps. These citations are extracted from the
Cartobibliography of the Grand Canyon and Lower Colorado River Regions (Volume 2 of THE
GRAND CANON series).
Appendix 3 offers a general guide to documentation for Hoover Dam and structures in
Boulder City as listed by historic-places registers: National Register of Historic Places, National
Historic Landmark System, Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS), and Historic American
Engineering Record (HAER), all administered by the U.S. National Park Service. These citations are extracted from Part 11/Section 3A of THE GRAND CANON.
Appendix 4 offers a general guide to commercially produced 3-D transparency products
(View-Master® and Tru-Vue®). These citations are extracted from Part 26/Appendix 1 of THE
GRAND CANON.
Each citation herein includes an Item Number (for example, 12.1633; the prefix
“12.” indicates that it is from Part 12 of the much larger bibliography, THE GRAND CANON).
These numbers serve as serial numbers only, which uniquely identify citations throughout
THE GRAND CANON. Numbers are assigned as citations are acquired for the bibliography,
thus they do not follow in the alphabetical order of the bibliography. The principal citations
are from Part 12/Section 1, on “Water Supply and Issues of Management and Policy

Relating to the Lower Colorado River Below Grand Canyon, and Associated Infrastructural
Projects”. References to pertinent citations from other parts of THE GRAND CANON also
appear in this special bibliography; they are identified by prefixes other than “12.” Items
copied from among the extensive “General Publications” part of THE GRAND CANON (Part 2)
include notes of historical interest but omit many more notes of casual visitation by
travelers, who offer remarks about the dam and its surroundings. Regarding dam visitors,
only items that refer to notable individuals and special visits are listed herein.
A KEY to the Item Number prefixes and titles of parts of THE GRAND CANON that
provided citations for this bibliography is at the end of this volume.
Underscored citation numbers separately identify publications that pertain to Boulder
City, Nevada. These relate principally to the dam construction period, although selected
publications from the post-construction era are included herein. (See the more expansive Part
12/Section 1, and Part 13, of THE GRAND CANON for more complete coverage.)

Lower Colorado River bibliography.
_________________________________
NOMENCLATURAL NOTE. “Boulder Dam” vs. “Hoover Dam” — The Boulder Canyon Project
received its name in legislation of the U.S. Congress. When engineering studies finally identified
Black Canyon as the site for the Colorado River dam, the project name was retained and the
dam was referred to as Boulder Dam. In 1930, while ceremoniously laying a spike in the rail
line from Las Vegas to the Boulder City site, Secretary of the Interior Ray L. Wilbur announced
that the name of the dam would be Hoover Dam, to honor Herbert Hoover. After the election
of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes in 1933 announced a change
back to Boulder Dam. In 1947, President Harry Truman requested Congress to finally, formally
name the dam Hoover Dam. In the main bibliography (THE GRAND CANON), when in Englishlanguage titles the name “Boulder Dam” was spelled out, no conscientious attempt has been
made to parenthetically identify it also as “[Hoover Dam]” as a note of disambiguation; in THE
HOOVER DAM BIBLIOGRAPHY, of course, such a distinction would be superfluous. It is generally
understood that the two names are synonymous, and that the appearance of one or the other
name (or both) in the citations is as originally published.
_________________________________
REGARDING THE CATALOGERS NOTE. “THE GRAND CANON” is a canon. The bibliographical
series that carries the label of THE GRAND CANON was named purposefully. If one bibliography
were to stand out for its purposes, if it promises to be tremendously comprehensive, and if
perchance it is unique in its coverage, it might as well be called a canon. And, as a series that
predominantly focuses on the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River, the title plays on the mostly
nineteenth century fashion of referring to Grand Canyon as “Grand Canon”. Such typography
followed the introduction into non-Spanish languages of an awkward borrowing of the Spanish
9
Underscored item numbers indicate publications that pertain to Boulder City, Nevada, principally during the dam construction period.
THE HOOVER DAM BIBLIOGRAPHY
Anonymous (continued)
cañón, spelled “cañon” and meaning “canyon” (the spelling with a “y” did not appear until later
in the century). Before canyon with a “y” became the norm, “cañon” was Anglicized or typographically simplified as “canon”. The meaning and pronunciation of the naked “canon” was
understood in context, which we today read as “canyon”. The truly Spanish cañón, as in “Gran
Cañón”, was rarely used in non-Spanish works.
For THE GRAND CANON I am astonished to have felt the need to add a Catalogers Note—
unheard of, I think—to the publisher’s (or copyright) pages of the volumes in the series. It
points out that the word “canon”, with no diacritical marks, while eclipsed by its ecclesiastical
definitions, means a standard, or authoritative, list. Conveniently for THE GRAND CANON that
is directed to the United States and Mexico, canon is spelled the same in English and Spanish. 1
The word is neither “cañón” nor “canyon”. However, already in the short life of THE GRAND
CANON the series title has been made into The Grand Canyon in several libraries’ catalogs; I
do not know whether by inattention, unfamiliarity with the word by individual catalogers, or by
procedurally Romanizing a “foreign” word. (It is possible that the “N” in the printed title of “THE
GRAND CANON” was treated as “Ñ”—indeed, even in some Spanish typographies capital letters
often omit diacritical marks—but that would be inattentively odd because the publication is
about the Colorado River country of the United States and Mexico, not specifically about the
Grand Canyon.) The bibliography has also been cited by individual authors who have
misconstrued Canon as Canyon.
The definitive-list canon is an English word, pronounced the same as “cannon”. Among
librarians and researchers, at least, confusion with “canyon” should not occur, as “cañon” is
long out of use except perhaps for literary effect (and in which case it would not be spelled
without the cedilla). I hope the errors are not an expression of careless or oblivious
neoacademics. THE GRAND CANON is a canon. I stand by this precise title; it is accurate—and
whimsical. Anyway, a massive bibliography could stand some whimsy.
1
In older Spanish, “canon” had been spelled “cánon”, though the diacritical mark has fallen into disuse. See, for
example, in Thomas (Tomas) Connelly (compiler), A New Dictionary of the Spanish and English Languages, Part
the First, Volume I / Diccionario Nuevo de las Dos Lenguas Española é Inglesa, Parte Primera, Tomo I (Madrid:
Pedro Julian Pereyra / Madrid en la Imprenta Real, Pedro Julian Pereyra, 1798), p. 399, one of several definitions:
“cánon. Catálogo ó lista. A catalogue, list, or roll.” (Bilingual title, publisher’s information, and definition, thus.)

Hoover Dam: The Boulder Canyon Project—historic setting, constrution history,

“This is a print replica reproduction of the original images” and p. 1 indicates, “Our
publications synthesize official public domain government information with original

further indicates (p. 1), “U.S. Government, U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of

[Two trips. Regarding the second trip (with Representatives Murphy, Taylor, French,
and Hastings), see p. 1071: “The committee reached Las Vegas, Nev., on July 2 and
traveled to Boulder City over the newly constructed railroad, arriving early on the
morning of July 3. By bus the party traveled from Boulder City to the top of the
Hoover Dam site. At this point the committee viewed the dam site and inspected the
substation just installed by the Southern Sierras Power Co. for furnishing power for
construction purposes. The company had completed this work, including the
construction of a transmission line 235 miles long from Victorville, Calif., which will
later be used for the transmission of power from the dam to outside communities.
During the afternoon the committee motored to a point above the dam site and took
motor boats down the river to the dam site and where the diversion tunnels are being
excavated.” (ENTIRE NOTE)]

THE HOOVER DAM BIBLIOGRAPHY
Appendix 1 — Mike O’Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge
Anonymous (continued)
THIS SECTION includes citations of publications that relate to the building of the Mike O’Callaghan–
Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge that spans Black Canyon between Arizona and Nevada, just
downstream from Hoover Dam. On the north side, the bridge hosts a pedestrian-access
walkway with informational plaques along its length, as well as a parking-lot plaza display on
the Nevada side. Outstanding views of the dam, powerhouses and Colorado River are had from
the walkway. Because the bridge is unrelated to Hoover Dam–proper and the functions of the
dam, but still pertain historically to the dam, these citations are accorded their own appendix.
Prior to its formal naming, the bridge project was known as the Hoover Dam Bypass.
This differs from the later Boulder City Bypass that is part of the I-11 interstate highway,
publications about which are cited in Part 2 (General Publications) of THE GRAND CANON Volume
1 (refer to the Raven’s Perch Media website, https://ravensperch.org).

Appendix 3 — Documentation in Historic-Places Registers
THIS SECTION identifies the documents that were used to nominate specific places of historical
or cultural interest for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Some places were
also nominated to be listed as National Historic Landmarks. The U.S. National Park Service
oversees both lists. Briefly, “The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the
Nation’s historic places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation
Act of 1966, the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places is part of a national
program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect
America’s historic and archeological resources.” National Historic Landmarks “are nationally
significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess
exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States.” Places
are often listed on the National Register before being nominated for National Historic
Landmark Status. (Information from respective NPS websites,
https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/About/ and https://www.nps.gov/nhl/. Most places listed in
this appendix have nomination documents that may be located through the search page at
https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP.) (Links valid as of March 3, 2022.) All information in this
Appendix, including illustrations, is derived from the original Nomination documents. Selected
text is reproduced from the summary or the statement of significance portions of the
nomination.
While these documents are not “published” per se, and thus do not have a convenient
citation style, they are a matter of public record, and multiple copies may be available in
collections across the country. They often contain detailed historical information and
supporting documentation that may not be accessible elsewhere. For continuity with the
remainder of this bibliography and in order to identify unique documents, each was assigned
an ITEM NO. within Part 11 of The Grand Canon.

Hoover Dam (listed April 8, 1981; [updated version] 12 pp. plus photos)
(Boulder Dam)
Black Canyon of the Colorado River, Nevada-Arizona; vicinity of Boulder City, Nevada; 220 acres. June 1933September 1935.
Nomination prepared September 7, 1979, Joan Middleton, Boulder City, Nevada (revised May 31, 1985 by Laura
Feller, National Park Service).
Property owned by U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
Summary: “Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity storage dam. The water load in this type of dam is carried both
by gravity action and by horizontal action. The dam is in the Black Canyon on the Colorado River. The west wall of
this canyon is in Clark County, Nevada, and the east wall is in Mohave County, Arizona. The dam is about 28 miles
southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, and approximately 7 miles east of Boulder City, Nevada. The drainage area above
Hoover Dam comprises 167,800 square miles including parts of the states of Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Nevada,
Arizona, and New Mexico. The Colorado River above Hoover Dam rises in the Rocky Mountains of Wyoming and
Colorado and flows southwestward to Lake Mead for a distance of about 900 miles. Along this stretch of the river,
principal tributaries are the Green, Yampa, White, Uinta, Duchesne, Price, San Rafael, Muddy, Fremont, Escalante,
Gunnison, Dolores, San Juan, Little Colorado, and Virgin Rivers. The first concrete in Hoover Dam was placed on
June 6, 1933, and the last on May 29, 1935. The dam was dedicated September 30, 1935, and was completed two
years ahead of schedule.”
“Hoover Dam is among the largest and earliest of the Bureau of Reclamation’s massive multiple-purpose dams. By
providing electric power, flood control, and irrigation waters, the dam made increased levels of population and
agricultural production in large areas of the Southwest feasible, affecting not only lands near the river, but also
urban centers such as Los Angeles. Hoover Dam was not the first major arch-gravity dam to be constructed. The
Cheesman Dam in Denver, for example, predates it. Nor is the dam the first of the Bureau of Reclamation’s multipurpose dams in the United States; that distinction belongs to the Theodore Roosevelt Dam, already a National
Historic Landmark. Hoover Dam is, however, distinguished by its size, the size of its hydroelectric plant, and the
far-reaching consequences of its construction in the agricultural, industrial, and urban development of the
Southwestern United States. In the field of hydraulic engineering, the dam is an accomplishment comparable to the
Panama Canal. Hoover Dam was the highest dam in the world — 726.4 feet from bedrock to the crest — when it
was constructed. Today it is still the western hemisphere’s highest concrete dam. Because of this height, it created
a reservoir that could store the normal flow of the river, including all average floods, for 2’ years. When filled to the
maximum, it will impound more than 31 million acre-feet of water. The dam is also large enough to trap and hold
the millions of tons of sediment carried by the river every year, without seriously impairing its efficiency as a
reservoir or interfering with the generation of electrical power.”

BOULDER CITY, NEVADA
NATIONAL REGISTER
11.15282
Boulder City Historic District (listed March 10, 1994; 354 pp. plus photos)
Bounded roughly on the north by the Government Center and Watertank Hill; the Railroad spur and Date Street on
the west; New Mexico and Fifth streets on the south; and Avenues B, F, and L on the east, Boulder City, Nevada;
ca. 182 acres. 1931-1945.
Nomination prepared April 1983, James Woodward, Cindy Myers, and Tere Sitter, Phoenix, Arizona.
Summary: “The Boulder City Historic District is significant for its historic associations with the Boulder Canyon
Project, the nation’s first large-scale, multi-purpose reclamation effort and the turning point for a new era in the
history of Federal reclamation programs and policies. As the town created to house over four thousand construction
workers in the harsh Nevada desert, Boulder City was a significant integral part of the successful completion of
Hoover Dam and the Boulder Canyon Project. Constructed at the outset of the Great Depression, Boulder City was
conceived by the Federal government as an ideal town, a model city, to which the American people could look for
hope of a better future, and subsequently became the first federal effort to construct New Towns in American
history. The Boulder City Historic District holds national significance for its place in the history of American City
Planning as the first fully-developed experiment in new town planning as promoted by the Community Planning
Movement, a movement which is recognized as the force which most influenced contemporary community planning
practices. The Boulder City Historic District is significant as well for its architectural integrity and ability to convey
associations with the events and people that made direct contributions, to the creation of the city plan, its
construction and development, and its continued role as a permanent city and successful new town.”
Given that Boulder City was originally constructed specifically for the Boulder Canyon Project (Boulder Dam/Hoover
Dam), it stands to reason that the nomination includes numerous contributing and non-contributing buildings and
structures, each described separately. The nomination also includes several detailed maps.

Boulder Dam Hotel (listed July 13, 1982; 5 pp. plus photos)
(Boulder City Inn)
1305 Arizona Street, Boulder City, Nevada; ¼ acre. 1933-1941.
Nomination prepared June 17, 1980, Ana Beth Koval and Charles D. Zeier, Carson City, Nevada.
At time of nomination owner listed as Clifford E. McCorckle, Reno, Nevada.
Summary: “The Boulder Dam Hotel filled and important function during the construction of Hoover (Boulder) Dam.
The Colonial-Revival hostelry was constructed in three stages beginning in 1932. Originally U-shaped, the structure
became H-shaped by 1935. It has been in continuous use as a hotel since its construction, and retains a high
degree of integrity. Oriented to the north, it is located on Arizona Street, close to the historic business district. It is
in close proximity to all of the Reclamation-era governmental structures that stepped down from the promontory
which overlooks the town. As the original plantings have matured, the hotel is situated close to areas of lush
vegetation and trees. The two-story structure sits on a foundation of reinforced cast-in-place concrete. The exterior
walls are constructed of small-scaled concrete block. All windows are multi-paned sliding sash. The front (north)
elevation is dominated by the two-story porch with square paneled columns. The main entry is topped by a
pediment and is flanked by pilasters and quoins. All other elevations have a similar formal disposition of windows.
The original building was three bays wide and occupies the western-most portion of the structure. In 1934, the
dining room and additional hotel rooms were added to the northeast corner. The entrance was moved one bay to
the east and the porch was extended east as well. In 1935, another addition of the same size was built on the
south-west corner, resulting in the H-shaped configuration. The current owner rehabilitated the lobby, dining areas
and some suites after purchasing the hotel in 1980. The rest of the rooms are basically unaltered, featuring, among
other things, the original tiled bathrooms.”

701 Park Place, Boulder City, Nevada; 10 acres. 1931/1933/1938/1943/1976.
Nomination prepared June 12, 1980, J. Charles Smith, Incline Village, Nevada; and James Hamrick, State Historical
Preservation Office.
At time of nomination owner listed as Anglican Sisters of Charity, Boulder City, Nevada.
Summary: “The Boulder City Hospital was built in 1931 to serve the needs of the Six Companies, Inc. employees
who were constructing Boulder Dam. It was built as an astylar, functional structure, designed to compliment the
stuccoedj arcuated public and commercial buildings that comprised the city’s master plan. It was actively used as a
medical facility for the major part of forty years and currently serves as a retreat for the Episcopal Sisters of
Charity. It is in good condition and retains a high degree of integrity in its unaltered context.”

VIEW-MASTER®
VIEW-MASTER products first appeared at the 1939
World’s Fair in New York, marketed by the Sawyer
Service Co., Inc., later known as Sawyer’s. Both the
mechanical viewers and the stereo-image reels went
through numerous modifications and style changes
over the years; a familiar arrangement is illustrated
at right.
The reel design and internal mechanism of the
viewers, however, remained unchanged and all reels
can be used in all viewers. Stereo reels were made
of thin cardboard, which served as a mount for
seven pairs of color stereoscopic transparencies. The card would be inserted into a slot in the
top of the viewer (see card already in place in the image above). Facing a light source, the
user would hold viewer to their eyes and rotate the card using a mechanical lever (on the left
side in the image above) that advanced the images to the next pair. Individual reels were
always housed in printed paper sleeves (as shown). Some later models of viewers would
include a built-in, battery-powered light source. The progression and variety of viewers,
tending toward modernity and economy, as well as of the reels, is well documented in
documentary sources today. Variations are known in typography, image selection, and card
color styles. Sometimes test reels and preview reels were released, along with specialized
sets customized for specific users and markets (for example, the U.S. military, hotels, movie
and television program producers, and promotional ventures of the amusement industry).
Over the years topical reels were sold individually in paper sleeves, in 3-reel packet sets
(unnumbered and numbered), and in blister-packet packaging.
Sawyer’s acquired its primary competitor, Tru-Vue, in 1951, and in 1966 Sawyer’s itself
was acquired by GAF Corporation. Various corporate ownerships came into play in subsequent
years. When GAF sold the View-Master line to View-Master International Group (VMI) in 1981,
still more product changes were introduced, including the abandonment of most paper reel
sleeves in favor of plastic blisterpacks containing three reels without accompanying literature.
The View-Master product is currently owned by Fisher-Price. However, the traditional reel
products were discontinued in 2009.

THE HOOVER DAM BIBLIOGRAPHY
Appendix 4 — Commercially Produced 3-D Transparency Products
Since the manufacturers did not maintain a consolidated title list over the years, it has
fallen upon the dedication of View-Master enthusiasts to assemble that list, noting the numerous variants along the way; a remarkable number of sleeve and reel typography variants.
The lists that follow herein comprise those of the Sawyer’s and GAF years, which pertain to
the regions covered by this bibliography; the only topics of pertinence are the Grand Canyon,
Hoover Dam, Glen Canyon Dam, and in some respects Native Americans of the region. Only
the specifically identified products are listed here. Omitted are less-focused titles; for
example, scenic views of the U.S.A. or of individual states, wonders of nature, travelogue
wonders, and so forth, specific ones of which may or may not include either the canyon or
dam.
It is not the purpose here to list all of the variants of reel styles and packaging, as these
are well covered and illustrated (with continual updates) by enthusiasts in publications
(including books and collectors’ serials) and on numerous websites. The lists here will assist
the user in identifying the specific titles that were manufactured, and which may be acquired
through online and other sales. Titles and variants are as thus far known to the enthusiasts.
For the most part, titles are U.S. releases, although some foreign releases are also cited;
distinguishing characteristics will be found in more detailed resources.
In the lists that follow, variant titles are noted, but not variants in scene selection or points
of reel manufacturing or typography. Dates are not usually noted, although some do have
copyright dates as indicated.
_________________________________________________________________
Single Reels
Enthusiasts’ notes indicate that single View-Master reels were numbered 4–5870, but not all numbers
were assigned to reels. Those that are indicated with an added 1959 copyright date may have been
restricted to 3-reel packets at that time. Within each number all titles are listed in alphabetical order.

TRU-VUE®
TRU-VUE products first appeared in 1933 at the
Century of Progress World’s Fair in Chicago, first
with sepia-toned filmstrips that were passed
through a viewer (right top and center). The
user held the viewer to a light source and
advanced the roll through the device. Each strip
usually contained 14 stereo pairs. In 1949, color
films were introduced. Filmstrips can be dated
by box colors and typography, as recorded by
Tru-Vue enthusiasts.
The Tru-Vue company was acquired in 1951
by its major competitor, View-Master. Soon
afterward
the
filmstrip
product
was
dis-
continued in favor of a less expensive card and
viewer. The card held vertical rows of seven
stereopair transparencies (lower right). However, the films were not the Kodachromes of
View-Master products but a cheaper make that
lost its colors over time, becoming a more
uniform magenta (a change with which many
owners of 1950s–1960s color transparencies
are familiar).
In 1966 GAF acquired Sawyer’s and its ViewMaster and Tru-Vue lines, but soon discontinued
the Tru-Vue product.
(In England during the 1950s a “True-View”
product line was started by Signaling Equipment
Ltd, either under license from Sawyer’s or by
acquiring the Tru-Vue filmstrip manufacturing
equipment (the viewers and box typographies
of the True-View lines are almost identical to
those of Tru-Vue. The subjects of the True-View product lines, however, seem not to have
included any places pertinent to this bibliography.)
The most distinguishing characteristic of the Tru-Vue products are the great variety in the
typography and colors of the boxes containing the filmstrips. It is, however, not the purpose

grand-nephew), online in the Raven’s Perch Media annex, https://ravensperch.org/ravens-perch-annex/; the direct
download URL is https://ravensperch.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Part-2_SMITHS.pdf (a very large PDF document,
55 MB, 1205 pages). Regarding E. C. Smith, see specifically pages II-449 to II-511. • A small collection of Smith’s
papers and field engineer’s artifacts was donated in 2003 by Spamer to the archives of the Boulder City Museum
and Historical Association (accession 003.031).
RAVEN’S PERCH COLOPHON
The perched-raven colophon of Raven’s Perch Media recalls this bird’s habit of gathering and
caching objects, one of its mischievously intelligent interactions with its kind and humans alike.
It is a detail from an 1861 lithograph that depicts a camp scene during the land component of
Joseph C. Ives’ expedition, on the southern part of the Colorado Plateau in April 1858.
The Ives expedition had ascended the Colorado River by steamboat as far as the mouth of Black
Canyon. An exploration by skiff was continued farther, about to the confluence of Las Vegas
Wash, passing through the place where Hoover Dam would be built in 80 years.

Möllhausen. Lithographed by Sarony, Major & Knapp, New York.
