Artifact Overview

What's better than receiving a postcard from a vacationing friend? How about a souvenir viewbook with multiple images that fold neatly into a postcard-sized packet? This viewbook contains eighteen images and information about Boulder Dam. Tourists traveled to see this engineering marvel beginning in the 1930s soon after its completion. The dam was later rechristened Hoover Dam.
