Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

Eureka Ironworks, located in Old Town Eureka, was an iron manufacturing and fabrication company that was in business from the late 1800's through the 1940's. This project investigates the local economy and manufacturing process in the late 1800's through early 1900's, by focusing on the fabrication of log trailers. Through archival research in the Eureka Ironworks Historical Collection and Humboldt Room, this project aims to examine the social life of a log trailer in order to understand how this product fit into the Humboldt County economy. This research traces the log trailer from schematic, through fabrication, to its use in the local lumber industry.
