During the course of documenting the bridge's history, the efforts to save the bridge, acquiring National Heritage Site status, and the relentless pursuit of getting the restoration underway, literally thousands of documents were collected and centralized in hard-copy form. This archive directory will eventually contain all of the documents found, and digitally recorded, and will be accessible via either search engine, or by a Master Index, hyper-linked to each document in pdf form for online viewing/download. In all, these documents in this archive will offer a concise history of the Brilliant Suspension Bridge from prior to its construction in 1913 to present, in a fashion never before available for public viewing. * Because all materials have not yet been archived, the search engine of course also hasn't yet been developed. Below is a short list of some interesting documents in the archives to date. |
