McBurney realized that just like government datasets, national park signs also contained public information that was funded by public taxpayer dollars.
Why not mobilize people to archive the information at risk of removal on national park signs too?
She and her mom Karen Smith have visited 53 parks and historic sites together in the past four years, from Carlsbad Caverns national park in New Mexico all the way to Independence national historic park in Philadelphia.
Guardian DesignVolunteers with Save Our Signs have documented the “before” photos of signs at several national parks where signs have been confirmed to have been removed or altered, including at Acadia national park, Cape Cod national seashore, Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie national historic park, Gateway national park, Independence national park, Muir Woods national monument, the National Mall and the Virgin Islands national park.
For now, the future of the national park signs is still uncertain.
