About the author

Founded in 1933, the Yellowstone Library and Museum Association was created to help build and develop a Yellowstone park library for rangers, naturalists, and others working with visitors. Over time, it became an important publishing partner for the park, producing field guides, trail booklets, checklists, and historical works centered on Yellowstone.

Its name appears on a wide range of titles, from practical visitor guides to more substantial books such as The Yellowstone Story. The association worked closely with the National Park Service and helped make research, interpretation, and public education more accessible to people eager to understand the park more deeply.

Today, its legacy lives on through Yellowstone Forever, which describes the association as part of the nearly century-long nonprofit tradition supporting Yellowstone National Park. For readers, books issued under this name offer a window into how Yellowstone has been explained, explored, and remembered across the decades.
