Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Dinosaur National Monument records (1925-1992) contain correspondence, charts, maps, a petition, wilderness studies, and public comments concerning various aspects of the Monument. In the 1970s there were two major movements: the first was to make some of the Monument a wilderness area while the second movement involved making the Monument a National Park. While both of these movements failed their objectives, they are documented in the collection. Notes on the discovery of dinosaur bones by University of Utah professor Frederick Pack are also contained in the collection.
