NPS Newsletter / Courier / Arrowhead

Publishing History of the Courier: Newsmagazine of The National Park Service and Related Publications 1956-2018

The National Park Service's Employees & Alumni Association began a publication called the National Park Courier in 1956. It was issued in a large newspaper-like format.

On August 25, 1966, the National Park Service began publishing a twice monthly Newsletter (later renamed NPS Newsletter starting with the Vol. 5 No. 6, March 19, 1970 issue) until 1976 in a small 8½" x 11" format. In March 1975, the name was changed to National Park Service Newsletter.

In 1977, the National Park Courier and the National Park Service Newsletter merged to form the Courier: the National Park Service Newsletter. The numbering started over with volume 1.

In February 1995, the Electric Courier began to appear via the Servicewide bulletin boards. It appeared, without graphic material, until the final issue on March 12, 1998.

In 1994, the Employees & Alumni Association of the National Park Service began their own publication entitled Newsletter: Employees & Alumni Association of the National Park Service. In 2000, the title was changed to Arrowhead.

Selected issues of NPS Newsletter, Courier and Arrowhead are available below. Prior to 1977, the list of issues for both magazines are incomplete. Electronic issues may also be accessed via issue covers.

The The Employee and Alumni Association of the National Park Service dissolved in 2018, thus ending its 62-year newsletter history. Below is the letter E&AA sent to its members informing them of its ceasing of operations on October 31, 2018.

October 24, 2018

The Employee and Alumni Association of the National Park Service is a membership organization that was created to promote the values and ideals of the National Park Service. It was designed to promote and nurture a bond between current and former NPS employees in their dedication to the Service's mission. The day-to-day operations of the E&AA are managed fee-free by Eastern National.

Over the years, the E&AA has provided valuable information to members. The Arrowhead newsletter kept members in touch with others and updated them on what was happening in parks. Annual gatherings were held to keep friendships strong and provide support to the organization. In recent years, technology has changed how people stay connected. New generations rely on social media, rather than membership in an organization, to keep in touch and obtain news in real time.

Interest in the E&AA has declined over time and attracting new members has been a challenge. As membership has dwindled, the E&AA board of directors has spent a considerable amount of time evaluating options for the future of the organization. After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to cease operations effective October 31, 2018. At that time, all remaining E&AA assets will be donated to the National Park Service Employee and Alumni Trust Fund, a separate not-for-profit organization. The Trust will continue operating independently, as it has in the past, to continue providing valuable services.

The Trust Fund provides two important programs: the George B. Hartzog, Jr. Education Loan Program and disaster relief program. Both of these programs will remain active and continue to be managed by Eastern National. The current criteria for obtaining educational loans is membership in the E&AA. This will be updated in the coming months. Information about the Trust Fund and the programs it supports can be found at EasternNational.org under What We Do, Management Services.

We appreciate your commitment and dedication to the Employee and Alumni Association of the National Park Service.

Sincerely,

Board of Directors
