    Regional Oral History Office University of California The Bancrof t Library Berkeley, California Sierra Club History Series Peggy Wayburn AUTHOR AND ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCATE With an Introduction by Maxine McCloskey Interviews Conducted by Ann Lage in 1990 Underwritten by the Sierra Club and the Sierra Club Foundation Copyright Q 1992 by The Regents of the University of California and the Sierra Club Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Peggy Wayburn dated March 30, 1991. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley and to the Sierra Club.
