Scope and Contents

Correspondence primarily between Douglass, the United States Department of the Interior, and those interested in developing a natural museum at Dinosaur National Monument. A letter (30 January 1926) from Douglass to Stephen T. Mather, director of the National Park Service, outlined plans for the Dinosaur Quarry Museum (now in existence at Dinosaur National Monument). Further descriptions of the museum project are included in letters to and from congressmen (notably Don B. Colton of Utah) and the governor (George H. Dern). Douglass was influential in securing the museum.
