Diane Cooper, Museum Technician, has written a new article for our website, "How to Eat Canned Salmon: the Selling of Canned Salmon to American Consumers," that highlights objects in our Collections as well as the results of her thorough research at our Park and elsewhere that documents the marketing of canned salmon from North American fisheries by local companies.

Do you cook and eat canned salmon?  Do you want to?  Check out the article, and be sure to follow the links to our catalog to locate online (and hardcopy) cookbooks full of recipes.
