Volumes were compiled by Southern California Edison as well as engineering firms and consultants; employees; and various predecessor companies, including Pacific Light & Power, Edison Electric Company, Southern Sierras Power Company, Mount Whitney Power Company, Nevada Power, Mining and Milling Company, and Nevada-California Electric Corporation. Original Edison volume number is noted where known. Some "albums" are compilations of loose photographs by topic.
