Yearly Brochures about Crater Lake National Park
These are from the National Archives and have been scanned, touched up and then presented as both a full pdf and individual pages in jpg format. Originally published by the National Park Service to give a general assessment of each National Park, these publications were the first ‘advertisements’ for America’s new national park system. Want to know how much it was legal to charge for a meal in 1916 at Crater Lake: One dollar. A fire in your room: 25 cents.
Our take: it’s interesting to view the evolution of park management and advertising, and the development of glossier issues as time went on. Today, Reflections, the park’s newspaper and the Unigrid Park Map, both free hand-outs replace these first publications.
