  The Smithsonian Institution, founded in 1848, viewed the Yellowstone National Park's resources as critical to its own mission, looking to the park for specimens to augment its natural history collections. How this relationship developed around the conservation and display of American wildlife is the little-known story Diane Smith tells in Yellowstone and the Smithsonian.
