Oral History

During the past century, hundreds of people contributed to planning, construction and management of Central Arizona Project. In an effort to preserve the valuable stories and experiences of these individuals, CAP is recording their otherwise unwritten histories.

Below are the transcripts of the oral history interviews. These documents have been posted exactly as they were recorded with permission of each individual. Contact Crystal Thompson at cthompson@cap-az.com with questions or suggestions for future interviews.

Bureau of Reclamation transcripts
This is a list of oral histories only. The transcripts are not available for viewing on this site.

Transcripts of BOR conducted oral histories are distributed to several history repositories that have large research collections devoted to the American West: the Water Resources Center Archives at the University of California at Berkeley, the Western History Collection of the Denver Public Library, the American Heritage Center of the University of Wyoming, the Newberry Library in Chicago, The Huntington Library in San Marino, California, the Beineke Library of Yale University, the Secretary of the Interior's Library in Washington, D.C., the Bureau of Reclamation's library on the Denver Federal Center, and the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
