his collaborative agreement between Western Washington University (WWU) and the National Park Service (NPS) will assist Yellowstone National Park (YNP) to preserve, catalog, and digitize for security and access approximately 96 linear feet (approx.
166,000 archival items) from the park Fisheries
and Aquatics Project, including upgrading storage condition and creating a finding aid for researchers.
In addition, 300 of the most significant and requested items will be digitized and made available online.
These records are included in the backlog on the parkâ¿¿s FY16 CMR.
The records, dating between the 1922 and the present, include species counts, visitor sighting reports, research publications, policy and planning documents, film and video, and other scientific and administrative records.
