Biographical / Historical
Southern California Edison (SCE) is the largest electric utility in California and one of
the nation's largest investor-owned electric utilities, serving more than 13 million people
in 15 counties of central, coastal and southern California. Based in Rosemead, California,
the utility has been providing electric service in the region for more than 120 years. SCE
is a subsidiary of Edison International, which is also headquartered in Rosemead. The SCE
service territory includes approximately 430 cities and communities with a total customer
base of approximately 4.8 million residential and business accounts. SCE is regulated by the
California Public Utilities Commission and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
SCE's earliest predecessor was Holt and Knupps, which in 1886 installed street lights in
Visalia, California. In 1894, a group including Elmer Peck and George Baker organized West
Side Lighting to provide electricity in Los Angeles. The next year the company merged with
Los Angeles Edison Electric, which owned the rights to the Edison name and patents in the
region, and Baker became president. Edison Electric installed the first DC-power underground
conduits in the Southwest. In 1899, Edison's Santa Ana River No.1 hydroelectric plant began
operation, transmitting power to Los Angeles over the world's longest power line (83 miles).
In 1907, Edison's Kern River-Los Angeles Transmission Line began operation. At 118 miles and
75 kV, it was the world's longest and highest voltage power line, and the first line in the
nation to be entirely supported by steel towers.
John Barnes Miller began his 31 year service as company president in 1901, the same year
that the Edison Electric Company of Los Angeles recapitalized as a $10 million corporation.
In 1909, after another recapitalization, the corporate name was changed to the present
Southern California Edison Company (SCE). Under Miller's leadership, the firm bought many
neighboring utilities and built several power plants. In 1917, SCE doubled its assets
through a merger with Henry E. Huntington's Pacific Light and Power Corporation. The
centerpiece of the merger transferred ownership of the Big Creek hydroelectric project to
SCE. Big Creek eventually became one of the world's largest hydroelectric projects.
At the same time SCE increased its generation and transmission assets through the merger
with Pacific Light and Power, it was losing a major customer in the city of Los Angeles.
Beginning in 1912, the city of Los Angeles began developing its own city-owned power
department and conflict with SCE ensued. In 1917, SCE and the city of Los Angeles reached a
settlement under which SCE sold its combined distribution system within Los Angeles to the
city for $12 million. SCE continued to operate the system under lease until 1922, since the
city required that time to develop the generating capacity to serve its new system.
During the middle years of the twentieth century, SCE faced a number of natural and
economic challenges. A 1925 earthquake and the 1928 collapse of the St. Francis Dam severely
damaged SCE's facilities. The Great Depression and World War II had a significant effect on
SCE's continued growth and access to economic and natural resources. Human resources also
proved to be an issue in these years as the war constricted SCE's access to workers and in
1953 SCE faced a major employee strike.
SCE survived these difficult decades and in 1964 consolidated its eastern service area by
merging with the California Electric Power Company (also known as Calectric). Through this
merger, SCE gained access to Calelectric's 450,000 customers and 41,500-square-mile
territory. A second significant mid-1960s event for SCE was the 1963 initiation of
construction of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS). SONGS Unit 1 began
operation in 1968. In addition to nuclear energy, SCE has also supported the development of
renewable and alternative energy resources such as wild, solar and geothermal. Today's
Southern California Edison is the product of more than a century of providing reliable
electric service to central, coastal and southern California.
Information for the Biographical Note was obtained from
Iron Men and Copper Wires:
A Centennial History of the Southern California Edison Company
by William A. Myers
(Glendale, CA: Trans-Anglo Books, 1983); and from the Southern California Edison Company
website (11/10/2008, URL: http://www.sce.com).
Scope and Contents
The collection primarily chronicles the history and development of Southern California
Edison, including the construction of Edison plants, advertising footage, the search for
alternative energy sources, and employee news videos featuring updates on Edison projects.
Historical footage and advertising spots date from the 1930s forward, while the majority of
the VHS and U-Matic material covers the 1970s through 1990s.
The motion picture film consists of a variety of media formats, including film reels, VHS,
U-Matic, and cassette tapes. The majority of the VHS and U-Matic tapes have been transferred
to DVD and are available for paging. Many of the reels, some U-Matic tapes, and materials of
other formats have not been reformatted and may not be available for paging. Over 100 films
have been digitized and are available to view on the California Revealed website and the
Internet Archive. See links in the finding aid. Two films are also available on the
Huntington Digital Library: "Kilowatt the Conqueror" (SCE MP 031), and "Mrs. Mortimer Jones
prepares 'Dinner for Eight'" (SCE MP 608).

Reel originally titled "SF Expo 1900."
Film is composed of a number of shorts: Circular Panorama of Electric Tower;
Panorama of Esplanade by Night; and Martyred Presidents. The Martyred Presidents is a
1901 American film directed by Edwin S. Porter. The film, just over a minute long, is
composed of two shots. In the first, a girl sits at the base of an altar or tomb, her
face hidden from the camera. At the center of the altar, a viewing portal displays the
portraits of three U.S. Presidents - Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield, and William
McKinley - each victims of assassination. At 3:04 is an excerpt from The Gay Shoe
Clerk, 1903. Next is A Romance of the Rail, which was filmed in August 1903 along the
Lackawanna Railway by Thomas Alva Edison. The last film is "Rounding Up of the
'Yeggmen.'"
The Pan-American Expo films were produced by the Edison Manufacturing Company from
March to November 1901. The company, founded by inventor Thomas Alva Edison, operated
from 1893 to 1917. More information about the films is available on the Library of
Congress website.
