DOCUMENTING MARIPOSA COUNTY's FIRES- SUMMER OF 2008
The Mariposa Museum/History Center is inviting the community or anyone connected in any way to the recent fires (firefighters, visitors who were in Mariposa /Yosemite at the time, etc....) to document your story relating to these fires so that they may be preserved for future researchers.
Best, Carolyn
From
the Mariposa Museum/History Center:
With the recent Oliver and Telegraph
fires in Mariposa County, history has once again repeated itself and
Mariposa residents have
witnessed "history in the making."
Mariposa Museum would like to keep a written record of these two tragic fires so that future generations will know of the tragedy and
losses that residents suffered as well as the outpouring of support and help this tight knit community provided to those who needed it.
Mariposa Museum and History Center is asking for stories of heroism, loss, support, as well as pictures or videos of the fire that we can
keep in our historical files. If you would like to contribute your story to the Museum, you can do so by sending it to Mariposa Museum &
History Center, P.O. Box 606, Mariposa, CA 95338. Or, you can email your story to mmhc@sti.net and place fire story in the subject line.
Whether or not the fires directly affected you, your stories are important to the history of Mariposa County. Please contribute yours.
Thank You

"Time and accident are committing daily havoc on the originals deposited in our public offices... the lost cannot be recovered, but let us save what remains; not by vaults and locks which fence them from the public eye and use... but by such as multiplication of copies, as shall place them beyond the reach of accident." Thomas Jefferson- 1791
