The records of Echo Lakes Association consist of the organization's correspondence and other working files related to the

History Project, an oral history project sponsored by the Echo Lakes Association, which contain written responses to questionnaires,

The Echo Lakes, two High Sierra alpine lakes, are located within the borders of the Eldorado National Forest which is administered
by the Forest Service. The lakes are utilized by day users and cabin owners with lease agreements with the Forest Service.
The Echo Lakes Association protects the interests of and unifies the cabin owners, and provides support for environmental
control.
