Manuscripts
The 53 notebooks in this collection include notes, charts, calculations, measurements, drawings, and other observations recorded by Los Angeles city engineer, Frank Henry Olmsted, and other surveyors affiliated with the civil engineering firm Olmsted and Gillelen. The surveys include sewers, reservoirs, ditches, dams, and other water supply and sanitation structures that were located primarily in Los Angeles County; Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura counties are also represented, as well as various regions in northern California and Arizona. The notebooks provide details relating to the design and construction of municipal water systems, and data concerning water distribution and consumption levels throughout southern California and Arizona during the early twentieth century. The notebooks are arranged in alphabetical order; titles are taken from the spines and front covers of the notebooks; many of the notebooks are undated. The majority of notebooks are in fragile condition and several contain loose items laid into the notebooks.
