About the Finding Aids Collection
What is it?
A Finding Aid is a document detailing information about a specific collection of papers, materials or records held within an archive or library special collections. The creation of a Finding Aid is usually done by an archivist or librarian during the process of adding the materials to the archive or special collections.

Wheeler, Yellowstone National Park and the Yellowstone ecosystem.
