Biographical Note
Jeff Van Ee moved to Nevada in 1972 and became active in the Sierra Club and the community's environmental issues shortly after he arrived. He was employed by the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development from 1971 until he retired on June 3, 2005. In 1987, he was a Legis Fellow and worked for US Senator Harry Reid and the Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee for nine months. Van Ee has also been active in other environmental organizations and activities like the Friends of Nevada Wilderness and Aquavision. Among the awards he received for his environmental work in Nevada are: Nevada Wildlife Federation's Governor's Conservation Award in 1983; Friends of the United Nations Environmental Programme 500 Environmental Achiever in 1987; The Giraffe Project designation as a Giraffe in 1991; and the Senator Harry Reid Earth Day 1992 Award. Van Ee also

Scope and Contents Note
The Jeff Van Ee papers consist of the papers of environmentalist John Jeffrey Van Ee from 1974 to 2012 that document a portion of Van Ee's environmental activity, notably his participation on environmental committees in the Las Vegas, Nevada area. It is comprised of correspondence, memoranda, reports, studies, newspaper clippings and meeting agendas and minutes. The collection showcases the breadth of Van Ee's environmental interests and the extent of his activism. Since Van Ee was active at a time when Las Vegas's population exploded and new demands were placed on the environment and its resources, the collection documents the increased importance awarded to environmental issues in both American culture-at-large as well as American national and local governments, especially with regards to water conservation and wildlife protection.
