Summary
Description Mt Rushmore Hall of Records panel text - Mt Rushmore memorial.pdf |
English:
In 1939 work was stopped on a tunnel leading into Mt Rushmore behind the head of Lincoln. The sculptor of Mt Rushmore had envisioned a grand "Hall of Records" to store and display the nation's most important documents and artifacts. They only succeeded in creating a 70 foot long tunnel into the mountain. In 1998 a vault was created to complete his vision. 16 enamel panels, measuring 4 feet by 1.5 feet were inscribed with historical information about Mt Rushmore and America. These panels were then sealed in a teak wood box, then placed in a titanium vault, and topped by a granite marker. This text file, from the United States Park Service, details some of the inscriptions on those 16 panels. This is not a photo of the panel itself, just a text-file of what is inscribed on them.

Source | These are text files from the United States Park Service at Mount Rushmore. They detail what is inscribed on panels entombed inside Mt Rushmore on 16 enamel panels. The text is work by the US Government |
Author | Authorship is not detailed and is believed to be the work of several park service employees describing the history of Mount Rushmore park, the presidents who are sculpted there, and the sculptor himself. As with most descriptions and histories found in museums, the credit for who wrote them is usually forgotten. These texts were obtained from park service employee Ed Menard in February 2019 |
