The Los Angeles Aqueduct Digital Platform is an incredibly comprehensive archive documenting the history of the LA Aqueduct, and has a huge variety of stories to tell. It categorises its content into three branches: archives, resources and scholarship. Inside the archival portion of the website, you can filter and search through 3381 records, including photographs, newspaper clippings, letters and legal documents, all of which are geolocated mapped. With such a vast collection of records, the controversial decision to build the LA aqueduct and the subsequent histories are very easily accessible through this platform. Inside the resources section, you are presented with official Department of Water and Power blueprinted maps as well as publicity maps produced for the public. The resources section also includes government publications, films, digital media (including a car audio tour through Owens Valley) and oral histories under a bibliographies tab. The LA Aqueduct has in fact played a large theme in many Hollywood Films and has thus been well documented in this form, too. This digital platform succeeds in effectively reporting on these films and their roles. The scholarship content consists of descriptions and details of the aqueduct’s construction and fictional personal accounts of the construction, newspaper clippings shedding light on the culture and mainstream attitude of the day and photo collections. What is especially impressive is the video interview featuring primary source accounts of the St. Francis Dam Disaster. In addition, the platform offers valuable environmental content, much of which speaks for today’s current water crisis in Southern California. This documention of hazards and data on the future rates of flow also provide pertinent warnings for the future of Los Angeles. Owing to the fact that this digital archive is very well put together and there is a large variety of source data, you can tell a very thorough, well-rounded story with this archive. There is also very effective metadata visualisation of the source material which can bolster one’s analysis of the whole picture surrounding the history of the LA Aqueduct.
