So far as scope is concerned it is obvious that we must limit our field, geographically at least. Mr. Harwell and I have just finished asserting and storing the Yosemite Museum accessions which are not exhibited. They are not all pertinent to Yosemite. Some will find use in Yellowstone, some at Grand Canyon, and some in other parks. These will be preserved until they are needed. Some few others have no American significance and these will be disposed of. Exhibits, of course, are limited to those objects which have some bearing on the Yosemite story.
I am leaving the concise statement regarding the scope of park museum exhibits to Park Naturalists Been and McKee.
