Part III, Line 1a: If organization elected under SFAS 116 to not report are, historical treasures, oThe Murie collection exists both on the Murie Ranch (mostly archival written and photographic works) and the collection at the Kelly Campus (mainly animal specimens). It is inclusive of writings, correspondence, animal specimens, scat specimens, skulls, wings, pressed plants, photos, artwork, and more. The Kelly Campus collection was donated by Mardy Murie upon Olaus' death for the expressed purpose of education, with a focus on youth. The collection at the Murie Ranch was a private collection that was held by the Murie Center and because part of TSS when the Murie Center and TSS merged. Because this is more archival works of art, photos and writings, it is mainly preserved with limited access solely for the occasional researcher. Neither collection is made available on a regular basis for the public, but rather the Kelly Campus collection is used regularly for TSS programs, which are accessible to the public. Recently, the Archives at the Murie Ranch were opened for public tours during the Murie Spirit of Conservation Awards.
Part III, Line 4: Description of organization's collections and how it furthers its purpose.The collection is used educationally to help connect people to nature, people to other people historically (the Muries in particular) and people to their place - either Jackson Hole, Alaska or otherwise. The collection is a powerful tool for scientific and social-science learning, and for learning about place-based history.
