National Park Service Administrative History, 1991: A Guide.

摘要

Because preserving and interpreting historic places and features is a primary mission of the National Park Service, the bureau has long employed historians to conduct research on its historic properties and communicate their significance to the public. NPS historical work has been concerned largely with the people and events represented by historical parks and park resources--the stories behind the parks. In recent years NPS managers have sought to learn more about their own history--the stories of the parks as parks and of those responsible for them. Administrative histories are the most effective means of conveying this knowledge. What follows is an updated compilation of NPS administrative history guidance, sources, products, and related titles.
