The holdings of the National Archives' Still Picture Branch include 226 photographs taken for this project, most of them signed and captioned by Adams. Ansel Adams would later visit the Still Picture Branch and review his photographic prints in 1979. The original prints created for the project now reside within the series 79-AA: Ansel Adams Photographs of National Parks and Monuments, 1941 - 1942, while the negatives were originally retained by Adams at the time. Much later in 1962 the photographs were accessioned into the holdings of the Still Picture Branch at the National Archives and Records Administration. The mural project was halted because of World War II and never resumed, however the photographs remained. The theme was to be nature as exemplified and protected in the U.S.
In 1941 the National Park Service commissioned noted photographer Ansel Adams to create a photo mural for the Department of the Interior Building in Washington, DC.
