THE YOSEMITE MUSEUM This National Park Service institution is a gift of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial through the American Association of Museums. It serves as a popular Yosemite guide for the 300,000 visitors who each year enter its doors. Within it are contained the historical items upon which this book is based. More than 300 donors have contributed to its accessions. [Editor’s note: Today the Museum building is used for administrative offices and most of the photographs, paintings, and artifacts are locked away when it closed in 1967. The only museum space left is a room for an small Indian exhibit. —dea.] |
