Our Publications ProductsProducing free brochures for each unit of the National Park System is the basic publications mission at Harpers Ferry Center, but the Center produces a range of other products, including handbooks, maps, historical charts, and posters. The publications are planned within a standardized—though not rigid—graphic design system that reinforces an institutional identity for the National Park Service and facilitates organization of information throughout a large body of work. Since the early 1980s the traveling public has become familiar with the graphic language of this system. The system also aids in planning, design, and preparation of publications for economical production by contract printers through the Government Printing Office. Harpers Ferry Center also publishes "The National Parks: Index," a reference guide to all the national parks, updated biennially to reflect congressional actions; "The National Parks: Lesser-Known Areas," a guide to areas managed by the National Park Service but not generally known to the public; and "The National Parks: Shaping the System," a history of the National Park System from the earliest federally-protected sites predating the official system to the present. How to Order Official NPS PublicationsFor more information and ordering instructions for our publications, see the Official National Park Service Sales Publications section of this website. Publication Reprint ProgramBesides producing new brochures and handbooks, HFC has an extensive reprint program to ensure that parks have a continuing supply of these publications. Reprint work involves correcting and reprinting a park brochure or handbook before the current supply is exhausted. Brochures are generally reprinted every year—or every two to three years depending on park visitation—and handbooks every three to four years. HFC keeps more than 330 park brochures and more than 60 handbooks in print. Publications Printing Specialist Tracey Rissler is the main contact person for questions relating to brochure or handbook reprints (phone: 304-535-6414; email: Tracey_Rissler@nps.gov).
