The Club designated The Bancroft Library as its official archives in 1958, and the organization began transferring records from the San Francisco office to the Library on a regular basis in 1970. A very wide range of record types are included in the collection, including correspondence, minutes, agendas, reports, by-laws, financial records, scrapbooks, sample ballots, notes, rosters, action alerts, statements and testimony, press releases, clippings, and policy statements. Documentation for the early years is scarce, since the Club's office in San Francisco was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire. The largest record series is that of the Conservation Department (Series 9), which includes documentation of the Club's promotion of the creation of Kings Canyon National Park in 1940, its campaign to protect Dinosaur National Monument from a dam-building project, and its unsuccessful opposition to the Hetch Hetchy Valley water project. Individual officers represented in the collection include David Brower, William E. Colby, Robert Curry, Michael McCloskey, and John Muir. Language of Material: English For current information on the location of these materials, please consult the Library's online catalog. Access Collection is open for research. Acquisition Information In 1970 the Board of Directors of the Sierra Club voted to place the club's historical records in The Bancroft Library. The club continues to transfer groups of historical records from its national headquarters in San Francisco in appropriate increments. Administrative 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 three-fold: "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, but it was not until 1950 that the first chapter outside of the state was incorporated. The greatest increase in membership has come in the last decade, in response to federal government policies that club members have considered anti-environmental. One hundred years after its birth, the Sierra Club is an organization of more than 600,000 members, run by a volunteer board of directors, with chapters in every state and in Canada. The club still maintains its headquarters in San Francisco, but it has regionally-based conservation staff working to influence federal legislation, and a national legislative office in Washington, D.C. There are a number of state legislative offices as well. The club is well known for producing Sierra magazine and for its publications program, Sierra Club Books. Hundreds of national and international outings, led by volunteers, take place each year. There are a number of published works on Sierra Club history, which may be of use to the researcher.

The Bancroft Library was designated as the club's official archives in 1958, and records began to be transferred from the San Francisco headquarters to the library regularly in 1970. A very wide range of record types are included in the collection, including correspondence, minutes, agendas, reports, by-laws, financial records, scrapbooks, sample ballots, notes, rosters, action alerts, statements and testimony, press releases, clippings, and policy statements. Documents from the early years are disappointingly scarce. The headquarters at Mills Tower in San Francisco was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire. Beginning in 1906, there is a nearly complete run of Board of Directors minutes (Series 2). By-laws (Series 3) and Elections Records (Series 4) also date from the period immediately following the earthquake. Other interesting early records include the register of the club-owned LeConte Memorial Lodge, in Yosemite National Park (Series 1); several scrapbooks (Series 1); and information on the annual High Trip, devised and led for many years by long-time club secretary William E. Colby (in the files of the Outing Committee, Sierra Club Committees Records, Series 6). Financial Records (Series 5), and records of the Sierra Club Council (Series 6), Sierra Club Committees (Series 7), and Sierra Club Chapters (Series 8) demonstrate the increasing organizational complexity and varied interests of the club. The year 1950 saw the establishment of the Atlantic Chapter, the first chapter outside of California. In 1956, the Sierra Club Council was formed, with one representative per chapter, to advise the Board of Directors on internal club matters. By the 1960s, there was an ever-expanding roster of committees concerned with such diverse matters as Sierra Club Bulletin policy, the governing of the club's Clair Tappaan Lodge, conservation topics, club history, mountaineering, wilderness classification, winter sports, and Yosemite National Park management issues. The Conservation Department Records (Series 9) form the largest record series. The Historic Conservation Files (Series 9.1) provide ample proof of many members' early, wide-ranging, and persistent conservation concerns. Successful campaigns documented in these files included the creation in 1940 of Kings Canyon National Park, a project dear to John Muir. Executive director David Brower masterminded the successful battle to protect Dinosaur National Monument from the United States Bureau of Reclamation's dam-building projects. The Historic Conservation Files also document heart-rending defeats, such as the loss of Hetch Hetchy Valley when the Tuolumne River was dammed to provide a water supply for San Francisco. Another hard-fought but ultimately unsuccessful campaign endeavored to halt the construction of an aerial tramway into the San Jacinto Wilderness in Southern California.

Using tree-ring methods, we dated deadwood to AD 815– 1350 and infer from death dates that the eruption occurred in late summer AD 1350. Based on wood anatomy, we identified deadwood species as Pinus albicaulis, P. monticola, P. lambertiana, P. contorta, P. jeffreyi, and Tsuga mertensiana. Only P. albicaulis grows at these elevations currently; P. lambertiana is not locally native. Using contemporary distributions of the species, we modeled paleoclimate during the time of sympatry to be significantly warmer (+3.2°C annual minimum temperature) and slightly drier (−24 mm annual precipitation) than present, resembling values projected for California in the next 70–100 yr. © 2006 University of Washington.

    United States Department of the Interior BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT Ukiah Field Office 2550 N. State Street Ukiah, CA 95482 www.ca.blm.gov/ukiah Dear Reader, Enclosed is the Final Cache Creek Coordinated Resource Management Plan (CRMP). This plan provides the framework for the future management direction of BLM lands included within the Cache Creek Natural Area. Additional cooperators with this plan include the California Department of Fish and Game, which manages the Cache Creek Wildlife Area, and Yolo County Parks and Resources Management which manages Cache Creek Canyon Regional Park. The Draft CRMP was released in September 2002, and considered several alternatives with varying degrees of habitat development/resource protection and primitive recreation development. Based on public input to this draft at public meetings and from written responses, emails, faxes, and phone messages a Proposed Action was developed that best prioritized the protection of resource values while allowing a compatible level of primitive recreational use. Each of the projects proposed in this CRMP will be evaluated in an Environmental Assessment that will present several alternatives and discuss the environmental impacts of each alternative. I thank everyone who commented on the Draft and provided helpful suggestions in developing this CRMP. Sincerely.

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.

Our objective is to describe concentration variability between years and to determine loads. We will present some hypotheses on the processes of mercury source, release, and transport and the source, release, and transport processes of other trace elements and the organic contaminants. We estimate total mercury loads, loads of other total trace elements, loads of PCBs and OC pesticides entering San Francisco Bay under the range of climatic conditions encountered. In addition, we use a simple rating curve method to estimate a five-year average mercury loads and a probable maximum mercury load based upon observed rainfall intensity and runoff data from water year 1975 – 2004.

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in 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 agreements between The Regents of the University of California and Denny Shaffer, dated August 9, 2003.
