Historical/biog note:
The Wilderness Society is a non-profit organization, whose primary purpose is the preservation and protection of wild lands in the United States. Founded in 1935, it has been involved in major conservation battles for decades. Foremost among the Society's achievements was the enactment of the Wilderness Act of 1964, which established a national wilderness preservation system. It has organized citizen conservation groups to help shape government decisions on land use policy; monitors Federal actions affecting wilderness: testifies before Congress on a wide range of land preservation issues; and educates the public about important conservation issues.
Review:
These records consist chiefly of material, generated by Harold A. Jerry, while serving on the governing council and executives posts of The Wilderness Society from November 1977 to October 1982. Records include correspondence, memoranda, financial records, policy reports, and printed material. These records concern primarily administrative activities and functions of the organization, but do offer some insights into policy positions.
