Highlights of this year's Yellowstone Center for Resources (YCR) Annual Report include an expanded Partnerships section (appendix III), featuring not only a description of each of 34 standing partnerships in which YCR personnel are involved, but also a table listing 79 project-based partnerships. These partnerships and agreements with other federal and state agencies, academia, and public organizations are critical to our continued successes in stewardship. The Research Permit Office authorized 221 research permits to investigators from 33 U.S. states and 7 foreign countries, again showing the park's value as a scientific laboratory as well as a pleasuring ground. Interdivisional partnerships were also a highlight of FY03. Spatial Analysis Center staff initiated a collaborative project with the park's Division of Maintenance to locate and document all of Yellowstone's water and wastewater components; because the locations of sewers, valves, and other elements were previously recorded only in employee memory or on paper maps several decades old, this project will greatly improve the Maintenance Division's ability to manage its facilities. The park celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Roosevelt Arch on August 25, 2003, with a gala event.
