This proceedings, sponsored by the History and Heritage Committee of the American Society of Civil Engineers, presents 16 papers presented at the Hoover Dam 75th Anniversary History Symposium held in Las Vegas, Nevada, from October 21 to 22, 2010.

Currently it produces over 4 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, which still makes it one of the largest hydropower installations in the United States
