Larimer County Water Ways is a project of the Larimer County Digitization Initiative. The Larimer County Digitization Initiative (LCDI) is a collaborative effort by libraries, museums and public schools in Larimer County, Colorado to promote access to local historical resources through use of the Internet and other media.
The Larimer County Water Ways project has collected, digitized and cataloged over 1200 photos dealing with the impact of water on Larimer County, Colorado from LCDI member collections. Subjects include: Natural Resource, Early Use of Water, Agricultural Use, Municipal Water Use, Transmountain Diversion Projects, Colorado Big Thompson Project, Floods and Droughts, and Recreation. The original photos are owned by various LCDI members and each institution must be contacted directly regarding copyright information. Contact information for an institution can be found through the LCDI homepage.
This project has been funded in part by a sub-grant of the University of Denver's federal Institute of Museum & Library Services "Colorado Digitization Project" grant.
