    The Crawford Historic Photograph Collection

    The Val A. Browning Library at Dixie State College of Utah would like to thank J. L. [Jasper Louis] Crawford for use of these photographs in our Special Collections/Archives Historic Photograph Collection. His father William Louis Crawford took many of these photographs.

    William Crawford was a farmer and a photographer and raised his family in a home just two hundred yards south of the present-day Human History Museum in Zion National Park. It was natural for the family to sell fresh fruit and produce as well as postcard pictures of Zion Canyon to the tourists. J.L. Crawford spent many years working in and around Zion Canyon as a park ranger, naturalist, and supervisor. He has continued to contribute to the local community in a major way through presentations, discussions, writings, and volunteer work. We are very pleased that he and his wife Fern are also volunteers in the Browning Library's Special Collections and Archives.

    We are indebted to Mr. Crawford for use of these spectacular photographs; some of which are in the old stereographic format. Mr. Crawford asks that anyone using copies of these photographs give recognition to the source.
