Sierra Club Office of the Executive BANC MSS 2002/230 c 2 Director Records BANC MSS 2002/230 c Sierra Club Organizational History The Sierra Club was founded on May 28, 1892, in the San Francisco office of attorney Warren Olney. In addition to naturalist and author John Muir, the 182 charter members included artists, scientists, university professors, explorers, and cartographers. Their intent, as expressed in the articles of incorporation, was "to explore, enjoy, and render accessible the mountain regions of the Pacific Coast; to publish authentic information concerning them. .[and] to enlist the support and cooperation of the people and government in preserving the forests and other natural features of the Sierra Nevada." The club grew slowly and steadily, with many new members recruited on local walks and the month-long High Trip, led for many years by attorney William E. Colby. A Southern California chapter was formed in 1911, and in 1950 the first chapter outside of the state was incorporated. The position of Executive Director began in 1952, when David Ross Brower was hired for the position. One hundred years after its birth, the Sierra Club is an organization of more than 700,000 members, run by a volunteer Board of directors, with chapters in every state and in Canada. In keeping with the club's original mission, hundreds of national and international outings, led by volunteers, take place each year. The club maintains its headquarters in San Francisco, and has regionally-based conservation staff, a national legislative office in Washington, D.C., and a number of state legislative offices. The club also continues to support its publications program, producing Sierra Club Books, calendars and the club's magazine, Sierra.

Biography of David Ross Brower, Executive Director 1952-1969 David Ross Brower was born in Berkeley, Calif. July 1, 1912. A life-long wilderness enthusiast, climber and skier, Brower was a Sierra Club member since 1933. He served on the Sierra Club Board of Directors from 1941-1952, then served as the club's first executive director from 1952 to 1969. During his tenure, Brower helped guide the Sierra Club's rise to national prominence, building the organization's membership from 2,000 to 77,000 members. Under his direction, the Sierra Club led the effort to pass the Wilderness Act, halted dam construction that would have flooded Dinosaur National Monument, and pushed for the creation of the Kings Canyon, North Cascades, and Redwoods National Parks, and the Point Reyes and Cape Cod National Seashores. Brower also led the Sierra Club into one of its largest campaigns, the fight against proposed dams in the Grand Canyon; the campaign included a series of innovative full-page ads in the New York Times, that many believe led to the loss of the club's tax exempt status. From his earliest association with the Sierra Club as the Sierra Club Bulletin editor, Brower pursued an aggressive publishing program at the Sierra Club. He edited and produced numerous club publications, in particular the club's award-winning Exhibit Format Series, which paired writers such as Nancy Newhall, Herman Melville and Robinson Jeffers with photographs by well-known photographers such as Eliot Porter, Ansel Adams, Philip Hyde and Cedric Wright. Brower's tenure as executive director ended in 1969, with the Board forcing him to resign after a protracted disagreement with members of the Board about the construction of a nuclear facility at Diablo Canyon, and charges of financial irresponsibility. Soon after Brower left the Sierra Club, he announced the formation of Friends of the Earth; he later went on to form Earth Island Institute in 1982. Brower continued his association with the Sierra Club, however, serving on the Board of Directors at various times during the 1980s and 1990s. After a lifelong commitment to conservation, David Brower died on November 5, 2000, at the age of 88, in Berkeley, Calif.

Fischer served as executive director of the national Sierra Club for six years. Campaigns included the Arctic and California Desert, and lobbying in Washington, D. C. After his tenure at the Sierra Club, Fischer was executive director of the Coastal Conservancy in California, Environment Program Officer for the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and an environmental consultant.

Schaefer,Andrea Gray Stillman | 176 pages | 03 May 2011 | Little, Brown & Company | 9780316056410 | English | New York, United States Ansel Adams in Color by Ansel Adams Ansel Adams never made up his mind about color photography. Long before his death in at age 82, he foresaw that this "beguiling medium" might one day replace his cherished black and white. In notes tentatively dated tohe observed that "color photography is rapidly becoming of major importance. Yet he once likened working in Ansel Adams in Color to playing an out-of-tune piano. America's regnant Western landscape photographer tried to control every step of picture-making, but for much of his lifetime too many stages of the color process were out of his hands. Kodachrome—the first mass-market color film, introduced in —was so complicated that even Adams, a darkroom wizard, had to rely on labs to develop it. Color printing was a crapshoot in the s and '50s. Reproductions in magazines and books could be garish or out of register. Before the s, black-and-white film often actually yielded subtler, less exaggerated pictures of reality. Still, Adams' misgivings did not prevent him from taking hundreds of color transparencies. As he traveled the country on commercial assignments or on Guggenheim Fellowships—a project to celebrate the national parks—he often took pictures in color as well as black and white. A generous selection of Ansel Adams in Color Kodachromes, most created between andappears in a new book, Ansel Adams in Colorrevised and expanded from the edition, with laser scans that might have met even his finicky standards.

Today, in government policy briefs and mission statements of environmental non-profits, newspaper editorials and activist journals, claims about the health of the planet and its human and non-human inhabitants abound. Yet despite this rhetorical ubiquity, modern environmental politics are ideologically and organizationally fractured along the themes of whose health is at stake and how that health should be protected.

  • David Brower: the Making of the Environmental Movement by Tom Turner
    Review: David Brower: The Making of the Environmental Movement By Tom Turner Reviewed by Byron Anderson DeKalb, Illinois, USA Turner, Tom. David Brower: The Making of the Environmental Movement. University of California Press, 2015; x, 308 pp. ISBN: 978-0-520-27836-3 US $29.95 cloth; 978-1- 520-96245-3 US$29.95 ebook . Printed on 30 percent post-consumer waste paper. In the Foreword, Bill McKibben equates Bower to John Muir and regards Brower as the most important conservationist in twentieth century America. David Bower had an “indomitable spirit” that “drew you in” (p. x). Yet, for those who personally knew him, Brower was a complicated person who, depending on the circumstances, could be labeled as charismatic, imaginative, aggressive, or reckless, among other descriptors. Among his more notable flaws, he had difficultly falling in line with authority, such as, bylaws and board directives. Brower was a long-time member of the Sierra Club and was its one and only executive director. Brower moved the Sierra Club from an outings club to a conservation club, a move that greatly increased the membership. He led campaigns to create parks, block dams, and in working with Howard Zahniser, win passage of the Wilderness Act of 1964. Brower also had failures, for example, supporting Glen Canyon Dam in trade for blocking two dams in the Dinosaur National Monument. In later years he realized that Glen Canyon would have been well worth saving as well. Brower pioneered in the effective use of mass media, including films, Exhibit Format books, and full newspaper ads.

An Ansel Adams photograph evokes more than an aesthetic response to his work—it also stirs reflections about his involvement in the natural world that was so often his subject.

Strengths of the Lee Library include American, British, and French photography and photographers. The publications on French 19th- century material (numbering well over 100), include many uncommon specialized catalogues from French regional museums and galleries, on the major photographers of the time, such as Eugène Atget, Daguerre, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Marville, Félix Nadar, Charles Nègre, and others. In addition, it is noteworthy that the library includes many small exhibition catalogues, which are often the only publication on specific photographers’ work, providing invaluable research material.
