#THE MURAL PROJECT CANVAS ANSEL ADAMS SERIES#
The photographs within this list-with the exception of those in the series 79-G-are within the public domain. While the majority of Adams’ photographs in the Still Picture Branch holdings are within the public domain, these specific photos may still be under copyright protection.Īdditional updates to this introduction were made as recently as May 2021. In addition, there are eight photographs taken by Adams of Yosemite in the General Photographic Files of the National Park Service (79-G). The one photograph of Yosemite (79-AAU-1) was a gift from Adams to the head of the Park Service, Horace Albright, in 1933. These prints were added by Adams to the mural project. The Kings Canyon photographs were taken in 1936 when the establishment of the park was being proposed. Many of the latter locations show Navajo and Pueblo Indians, their homes and activities. Other pictures were taken at the Boulder Dam Acoma Pueblo, NM San Idelfonso, NM Taos Pueblo, NM Tuba City, AZ Walpi, AZ and Owens Valley, CA. They were taken between 19 at the Grand Canyon, Grand Teton, Kings Canyon, Mesa Verde, Rocky Mountain, Yellowstone, Yosemite, Carlsbad Caverns, Glacier, and Zion National Parks Death Valley, Saguaro, and Canyon de Chelly National Monuments. The holdings of the National Archives' Still Picture Branch include 226 photographs taken for this project, most of them signed and captioned by Adams. Ansel Adams would later visit the Still Picture Branch and review his photographic prints in 1979. The original prints created for the project now reside within the series 79-AA: Ansel Adams Photographs of National Parks and Monuments, 1941 - 1942, while the negatives were originally retained by Adams at the time. Much later in 1962 the photographs were accessioned into the holdings of the Still Picture Branch at the National Archives and Records Administration. The mural project was halted because of World War II and never resumed, however the photographs remained. The theme was to be nature as exemplified and protected in the U.S. In 1941 the National Park Service commissioned noted photographer Ansel Adams to create a photo mural for the Department of the Interior Building in Washington, DC. Local Identifier: 79-AAC-2, National Archives Identifier: 519852. View of Valley from Mountain, "Canyon de Chelly" National Monument, Arizona.
