About the Collection

The NMFSH currently manages its own collection of approximately 20,000 objects, photographs, documents, books and research reports. Through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Forest Service, the NMFSH also manages the Forest Service Collection, comprised of an additional 20,000 objects. To date more than 21,000 objects have been catalogued and are available to researchers and for exhibits by request.

From the role of the 10th Mountain Division in the development of the nation’s alpine ski areas to the connection between Smokejumpers and World War II paratroopers, from the giants of conservation like Roosevelt and Pinchot to rangers leading a mule train--the National Conservation Legacy and Education Center will be defined by the interwoven story of resource management and human history it tells. The collection provides the physical connection to this history.
