Rather than a view of dunes or lighthouses, this item is a membership certificate, with engraved borders and decoration that give a formal record of belonging the look of something worth framing. Certificates of this kind were commonly issued by local groups and kept at home or in an office as a sign of support. The Cape Cod National Seashore, authorized by Congress in 1961 to protect the Outer Cape's beaches, dunes and marshes, grew out of years of local debate over how much of the shoreline should stay undeveloped. A document tied to the region reflects that long effort to keep the peninsula's landscape intact.
