The Dorothy Harvey papers (1902-2005) are a collection of material focusing on the Central Utah Project (CUP), a water resource development program designed to beneficially use a sizable portion of Utah's alloted share of the Colorado River. The project is located in central and east central part of the state.

Included in the collection is personal correspondence and information on Dorothy Harvey and her family; her writing drafts and notes for an unpublished book on CUP; papers resulting from her involvement with various organizations, including federal documents; project litigation materials; subject files; and news clippings, newsletters, programs, brochures, and maps. Many subjects are represented in more than one area of the collection. As a notation, the words "Uinta" and "Uintah" are synonymous.
