Powerful piece by @ericthomasphoto.bsky.social: "Citizens have rhetorical and political power too: power to tell our true histories. We can each counter the whitewashed history of national parks as we tell more complete accounts in our homes, our classrooms or our faith communities." #SaveOurSigns

New podcast with #SaveOurSigns
Text on gray background reads,”BREAKING UPDATE After this podcast was recorded, U.S. District Judge Cynthia M. Rufe ordered that the 34 educational panels and videos be replaced while the trial is in progress. The ultimate fate of the exhibit is still undecided-but its reinstatement is a victory for all Americans! YOU made this happen, by showing up, calling your reps, & raising your voices!”
Image of jolly ranger, text reads, “one site saved, 432 to go. Join the resistance.”
🔥This is about truth-telling. This is about accountability. This is about our history. #tellthetruth #restoreourhistory #atac #saveoursigns
We are so excited to see the interpretive panels in #Philly restored! We CAN take action to protect our history. Congratulations to the community that fought so hard to bring them back.
Hope is resistance.

We spotlight the #SaveOurSigns project in the #JERPano's latest Early Republic Tracker entry.
The initiative is a crowdsourced effort to document thousands of NPS signs for digital preservation and to record those affected by federal mandate. thepanorama.shear.org/2026/02/10/s...
I used the images from #SaveOurSigns to make a zine of the removed panels. Not totally related but sort of library related because of censorship I guess?
As a reminder, the #SaveOurSigns initiative is not over! As removals go into effect in our #NationalParks, please capture "after" photos as well as any sign-removal protest content. This helps us illustrate and document exactly what has changed.

I don't live near a national park -- how can I help the #SaveOurSigns initiative?
Exciting to see the ways that people are remembering and advocating for the President's House! Thanks @literaturegeek.bsky.social

The #SaveOurSigns effort is led by our colleagues at the University of Minnesota. One of the many ways you can show your solidarity is through continued archiving of National Parks signs.
Visit saveoursigns.org to see sites which sites need additional photos, and be sure to record removed signs!
