The Sherman Indian Museum’s rich collection documents the student experience, institutional culture, and community history of one of the oldest off-reservation American Indian boarding schools in the United States still in operation. Efforts to better understand the complex and layered history of these schools are regularly confronted with limited and scattered histories where significant gaps in the narrative exist. This paper details the cross-institutional collaboration to process and digitize the museum’s collection for increased accessibility, focusing on the partnership formed between an Indigenous and non-Indigenous institution and the steps taken to create one of the premier online digital collections documenting the boarding school experience.

abstract:Social and racial justice protests in 2020 continue to have repercussions across California and the country. For California State Parks, this has meant taking stock of and critically Reexamining Our Past memorializing efforts, looking specifically at contested histories related to place names, honorifics, and interpretation in our nearly one-hundred-year-old State Park system. To address the complexity of this historic legacy, California State Parks is engaging with California Tribal Nation culture-bearers, public historians, and other experts across interdisciplinary fields to guide changes needed to ensure California for All truly reflects the diverse, inclusive, and historically accurate telling of California’s history in our state parks.

abstract:This introduces the special issue, “Reckoning with Our Past: California State Parks and the Dark Side of the Conservation Movement.” It identifies Madison Grant, conservationist and White supremacist, who was honored by California State Parks with a monument and grove bearing his name. The introduction describes the rest of the articles in the issue: David G. McIntosh on Grant’s work as a conservationist and eugenic propagandist; Rena M. Heinrich on a campaign to have Grant’s monument removed; Leslie Hartzell on the response of California State Parks to that campaign; Victor Bjelajac on the Grant removal and other state parks initiatives to undo past wrongs; and a letter sent by Jim Weaver to California State Parks employees calling for the removal of the Grant monument. It concludes with discussion of other state parks that should be considered for renaming.

On May 1, 2012, the Organization of American Historians (OAH) report Imperiled Promise: The State of History in the National Park Service urged the National Park Service (NPS) “to recommit to history,” bemoaning its inadequate treatment at park historical sites. Focusing on the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration (part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument), this review essay considers how much has changed at one site in response to the report’s call to action. The Ellis Island immigration station opened in 1892. When it closed in 1954, the facility had processed nearly twelve million immigrants, the great majority of whom arrived during the peak immigration period between 1880 and 1924. In 1990, when the restored Main Building opened as a National Park Service immigration museum, it quickly became a major national and international tourist attraction. To access the island, visitors take a twenty-minute ferry ride from Battery Park in Lower Manhattan or a fifteen-minute ride from Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey. Entrance to the museum, as well as to both Ellis Island and Liberty Island, is free. Approximately 4.5 million people visited annually before the pandemic (and numbers are rising again), and although all get off at Liberty Island (the first stop), only about half go on to visit Ellis Island. Still, the nearly 2.2 million annual visitors to Ellis Island, about half of whom are foreign tourists, make it among the National Park Service’s most widely attended history museums. When I visited in the summer of 2021, COVID-19 restrictions had eased and tourists were returning to the island in large numbers; however, video kiosks were still not running, film programs in the two theaters were paused, and park ranger tours remained suspended. I had reviewed the museum nearly fifteen years earlier for an edited volume on how race and empire are implicated in public history sites, noting the absence of attention to how Black migration would frame the experience of immigrants to northern American cities.1 Returning several times since then to participate in summer seminars on public health at Ellis Island’s decayed hospital complex on the island’s adjacent landfill, I was familiar with the museum’s core

abstract:American eugenicist Madison Grant (1865–1937) received two memorials from the State of California in 1931 and 1948 (posthumously) for his efforts, presumably, in the conservation of the California Redwoods as a co-founder of Save the Redwoods League (established in 1918). This article will chronicle the efforts and campaign of historians David G. McIntosh (SENMC), Rena M. Heinrich (USC), and Paul Spickard (UCSB), who petitioned the California State Park system to reconsider these memorials, specifically the Madison Grant Forest and Elk Refuge in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in Humboldt County. Efforts are ongoing to reimagine the memorial at Founders Grove in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, which commemorates the founders of Save the Redwoods League.
美国优生学家麦迪逊·格兰特(1865-1937)于1931年和1948年(死后)获得了加利福尼亚州颁发的两份纪念物，以表彰他作为拯救红杉联盟(1918年成立)的联合创始人在保护加州红杉方面所做的努力。本文将记录历史学家David G. McIntosh (SENMC)， Rena M. Heinrich (USC)和Paul Spickard (UCSB)的努力和运动，他们请求加州州立公园系统重新考虑这些纪念碑，特别是洪堡县草原溪红木州立公园的麦迪逊格兰特森林和麋鹿保护区。人们正在努力重新构想位于洪堡红杉州立公园创始人格罗夫的纪念碑，以纪念拯救红杉联盟的创始人。

abstract:A memorial in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in Northern California continued to honor the name of Madison Grant (1865–1937) until 2021. De Forest Grant (Madison’s younger brother), John D. Rockefeller Jr., the New York Zoological Society, and others dedicated the monument in 1948. Madison Grant’s most well-known book, The Passing of the Great Race (1916), became the basis for monumental atrocities leading up to and during World War II. This article explores Grant’s racist legacy and claims he made that successfully convinced lawmakers to pass legislation restricting the rights of non-White peoples and immigrants. His book and the ideas it contained continue to serve as a basis for hate and exclusion in the United States.
