There is a growing realization that the results of cultural resources studies should be available to the general public. Far Western has long been at the forefront of this movement. Our design team is headed by Art Director Tammara Ekness Norton, who has been with Far Western for over 20 years. Ms. Norton has designed numerous web articles for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFIRE), the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and California State Parks. She also has designed and overseen fabrication and installation of museum-quality exhibits for the military, California State Parks, the University of California, and Caltrans, and has worked in tandem with Far Western researchers and Native American consultants to produce numerous public education documents.
