Scope and Content of Collection
Contains subject files for Rainforest Action Network campaigns, Rainforest Action Groups, Rainforest Action
Network publications, and small quantities of correspondence and photographs. Prominent among the campaign
files, is information pertaining to various oil companies, countries affected by rainforest logging, and the
native U'Wa. The Rainforest Action Groups files contain information on local grassroots groups supporting RAN
and materials on RAN campaigns against corporations that supported rainforest or old-growth logging. There are
also several cartons of newspaper clippings and copies of RAN advertisements. Within the general subject files
are folders of unorganized correspondence, called by the organization "constituent mail," and photographs of
promotional events.
