The National Park Service Digital Collection explores the history and preservation of south Florida’s ecosystems through three key collections: Early Everglades National Park History – Documents efforts leading to the park’s 1947 dedication, featuring figures like Ernest F. Coe and May Mann Jennings. South Florida Natural Resources Center (SFNRC) – Established in 1978, the SFNRC conducts research on regional ecology and human impact beyond park boundaries. Dry Tortugas National Park – Covers the history, cultural heritage, and marine biodiversity of this remote Gulf of Mexico park. Together, these collections highlight advocacy, science, and preservation in south Florida.
