History the stamps represent: Over the course of 60+ years as a professional photographer, Ansel Adams made major contributions to the art and conservation worlds. In turn, he received some of their greatest honors.
Adams’s popularity helped establish photography as fine art. In 1940, he developed the Museum of Modern Art’s Photography Department in New York City. Five years later, he helped create the first Photography Fine Art Department in the US at the California School of Fine Arts. In 1975, he helped found the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona.
In 1977, two of Adams’s photos were included on the Voyager Golden Record, which was carried aboard the Voyager spacecraft to present information about Earth if ever found by another civilization. Later in his career, Adams received an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society and the Hasselblad Award.
Adams received the Sierra Club’s John Muir Award and the Department of the Interior’s Conservation Service Award. Awards were named after him by the Sierra Club and the Wilderness Society. In 1980, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, for “his efforts to preserve this country’s wild and scenic areas, both on film and on earth.” And the year after his death, a national forest and mountain along the border of Yosemite were renamed in his honor.
