Special History Studies

Special History Studies focus on specific historical topics or themes. The studies can range from the history of a specific park resource to an historic person or event or even a broader theme or time period. The studies contain in-depth research and are meant to focus specifically and solely on the history of their topic. The purpose of these studies is to aid in interpretation and education, resource identification, and resource management.
