MEDIA ADVISORY TO EDITORS
WHO: Bureau of Reclamation
WHAT: Centennial Website, Historical Photos www.pn.usbr.gov/cen/index

This year, the Bureau of Reclamation is celebrating 100 years of service to the West and as part of the celebration we are publishing a series of historic photos that show the development of water projects in the Pacific Northwest.
Reclamation played a pivotal role in developing, designing, and constructing the critical infrastructure that we have come to depend on today for delivery of water for irrigation, hydroelectric power, recreation, and flood control.
These historic photographs are being made available to you to publish as you find space and in the interest of your readers. You are welcome to use them in your publication without charge. We only ask that you acknowledge them as being available as a courtesy of the Bureau of Reclamation.
Visit www.pn.usbr.gov/cen/article-index.htm to see historic photos and background information. Photos are published in a web-friendly format, as well as available in higher resolution for down-loading for print. Any information published on the site is available for use by journalists.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact the Bureau of Reclamation's Public Affairs Office in Boise, Idaho, at (208) 378-5021
