Collection Name	Fairbanks 1967 flood photographs
Identifier	UAF-1977-180-CO
Title	Fairbanks 1967 flood photographs.
Description	Fairbanks 1967 flood photographs is a collection of over 200 color slides and currently 3 color photographs developed from the slides. The slides include images of Fairbanks and surrounding areas submerged, notably the downtown area showing water rising up to various business signs, such as Woolworth’s Samson's Hardware, First National Bank of Fairbanks, Tommy's Elbow Room, Penney's, Nerland's Furniture, and even the Nenana Civic Center. In addition, there are numerous slides showing bird's-eye views of Fairbanks and also of people being evacuated, gathering for food, assessing the damage to their residences and businesses, and even sleeping near the Avis Rent-a-Car counter . A combination of weather conditions produced heavy rainfall in the Fairbanks area in August 1967 causing the Chena and Tanana Rivers to overflow, leaving Fairbanks and Nenana devastated in the flood's aftermath.
