Collection
consists of 35mm color slides, 35mm and 5x7 color and
black and white negatives and color and black and white photographic
prints documenting City of Dallas Public Works and Transportation
construction and replacement projects, people, places and events.
Public works activities as they are known today were originally under the direction of the city engineer. After a major reorganization of City of Dallas departments following the move to council-manager form of government in 1930, the Department of Public Works was created. Transportation-related activities were later added, then removed from the department in 2011. As a combined department, its mission was to preserve,
improve and
construct Dallas' infrastructure and facilities to provide effective,
safe, and efficient protection of property, movement of people and
goods, and access to city facilities for citizens of Dallas.
Project documentation includes specified and unidentified street and road construction and replacement and aerial photography. Love Field construction projects are well represented, as well as extensive documentation of the moving of the Charles Umlauf sculpture at the entrance to the airport, "Spirit of Flight."
