John Muir Center
The objectives of the Center are implemented through a variety of activities
sponsored and promoted by the John Muir Center, including:
- Home office to the Conference of California Historical
Societies
- A regular symposium with a thematic emphasis on some aspect
of regional studies. The California History Institute, started
on this campus in 1954 by "Mr. California," Dr.
Rockwell Hunt, and subsequently sponsored by the John Muir
Center and its predecessors, has been enlarged and incorporated
into this symposium.
- A special publications program that includes the John Muir
Newsletter, a quarterly publication with articles, book reviews
and a monograph series that began in 1993 with the publication
of John Muir: Life and Work, by the University of
New Mexico Press; and most recently the publication of John
Muir: Family, Friends, and Adventures, also by the University
of New Mexico Press.
- Periodic seminars and workshops to offer faculty, students
and other scholars a forum for presenting regional research
results, to discuss ways and methods of utilizing regional
resources in ongoing classes, and to facilitate multi-disciplinary
planning and programs.
- Course offerings with regional or environmental emphasis.
