History the stamps represent: Ansel Adams joined the Sierra Club as a teenager and worked with the organization for most of his life. His photographs and dedication to preservation helped the group’s cause in creating parks and protecting natural sites.
Working as a custodian at the Yosemite lodge since 1919, Adams participated in his first outing in 1927. He became the club’s official trip photographer the following year and assistant manager of the outings in 1930. Adams published some of his first photos in the club’s newsletter. He began to propose park improvements and became one of Yosemite’s most vocal defenders.
Adams was elected to the board of directors in 1934, a position he held for 37 years. In 1936, he represented the club at a national parks conference. He brought his photos to promote a wilderness park in the Kings River Sierra. Adams later collected those photos in a limited-edition book, Sierra Nevada: The John Muir Trail, which impressed the secretary of the Interior and President Franklin Roosevelt. These efforts paid off and Kings Canyon National Park was established in 1940.
Adams retired from the Sierra Club board in 1971, the same year they established a photography award in his honor.
