This material came to the Bancroft Library in January 1966 from the Gift Division of the General Library. Its provenance is
unknown.
The collection contains correspondence and papers, photocopy of some issues of the
Gull, miscellaneous publications re birds, stationary and brochures, miscellaneous accounts, and minutes, 1930-1944. The Association,
founded in 1917, immediately launched campaigns to preserve migratory birds from destruction around lighthouses, crusaded
against the dumping of oil in off-shore waters, promoted Lake Merced as a bird sanctuary, and actively supported and initiated
legislation on conservation matters.
The original arrangement of the Papers has been preserved. Incoming and outgoing letters as well as miscellaneous papers are
chronologically interfiled, with, at the end, a few folders of material segregated by subject. A partial list of correspondents
is found at the end of the report.
