Do you have old outdoor recreation photos?

Idaho's state park system will be 100 years old in 2008. To help celebrate our Centennial, we're looking for old photos and film depicting outdoor recreation in Idaho. We're especially interested in finding old family photos taken in any of Idaho's state parks, or what would later become an Idaho state park. We'd also like to see your pictures of outdoor recreation taken anywhere in Idaho.

The photos may appear in a planned book about our agency, or in our new history video. We will give credit to the photographer (if known) and to the person submitting the photo. If we use your photo, you will receive your choice of a free one-year day use pass to all of Idaho's state parks, or two nights free camping in any park.

How to submit photos

You may submit photos two ways:
1). Send a copy of your photos, or a CD to
Historical Photos
Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation
PO Box 83720
Boise ID 83720-0065

2). Email low resloution (72 DPI) digital images to this address.
