Catalog and Describe Park Archives in the Southeast Region of the National Park Service

This project will make archival collections from units within the National Park Service, Southeast Region accessible to the public. The survey, processing, and cataloging of the archival materials will result in the production of an archival finding aid, which will guide the reference to the materials. With a finding aid, the public will be able to access the collections for research purposes, connecting them to valuable information about the park, history, science, and cultural and natural resources. Finding aids will be posted to park websites in order to reach a wider audience and increase the visibility of the collections. The project will also provide a professional opportunity for an early career archivist that will expose him or her to the National Park Service mission and resources.
