The Lake Clark National Park Jukebox Project consists of fourteen photo albums representing different, but overlapping historic themes: subsistence, early education, reindeer herding, park establishment, early industry, population transitions, exploration-guiding-sport hunting, landscape changes, old villages, people, trails, transportation, and Dena'ina tools-education. This body of material offers perspective on Native life in the Lake Clark area prior to outside influence and on the transitions that occurred when outsiders moved in. For example: how children were instructed before schools came into the villages; what the Lake Clark National Park land was used for prior to the establishment of the park; the preservation of resources; transportation before airplanes, boats, and motors; and traditional values. The Dena'ina tools-education slideshow provides a very short version of Native education and craftsmanship. This broadens our understanding of the region's history.

John Branson, a historian for Lake Clark National Park and Preserve in Port Alsworth, Alaska, collected the historic photographs (many of which are now included in the National Park Service collection), conducted oral history interviews about them with a variety of Native and National Park Service affiliated people, and provided the theme titles for each photo album/slideshow. For more about these photos, see Bristol Bay, Alaska, From The Hinterlands To Tidewater: A Grassroots Pictorial 1885 - 1965 by John B. Branson (National Park Service, Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, 1999). Karen Evanoff Stickman of Nondalton, Alaska, collected additional photographs, and conducted oral history interviews with Nondalton elders about their perspectives on the photo albums' historic themes. She also worked at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Oral History Office to create the Jukebox program and add photographic and audio material. The Lake Clark National Park Project Jukebox was funded by the National Park Service. Karen Brewster, Jarrod Decker, and other staff at the Oral History Office at the University of Alaska Fairbanks worked with Karen Evanoff Stickman in 1998 and 1999 to design and implement the project. In 2019, the Lake Clark National Park Project Jukebox was upgraded from its original HTML format to Drupal. The information in this project reflects the context of the original creation date. Some information may now be out of date.
