Historical Note

In January 1949, Tucson Audubon Society was organized to promote the appreciation and preservation of wildlife. The Tucson Chapter, incorporated in 1964, is dedicated to improving the quality of the environment by providing education, conservation, and recreation programs. Field trips, ecology camps, workshops and conservation activities increase knowledge, and awareness of our environment. Education and advocacy of conservation issues in Arizona, and Sonora, Mexico, are their highest priority.

Scope and Content Note

Series One, Administration, contains correspondence of the officers, board of directors meeting materials, and documents of committees. Series Two, Conservation, consists of case studies and issues of concern. Interactions with other conservation entities are documented in publications and correspondence. Series Three, Education, consists of brochures, planning materials, correspondence, itineraries, postcards and photographs of events. Field trips, Camp of the West, Family Institute and Desert Safari are included with particular emphasis on the Institute of Desert Ecology. Series Four, Organization, contains national, regional, state and chapter materials regarding cooperative efforts and interests. Publications (1949 - 2000), contains two published copies of The Road-Runner, and correspondence reflecting the planning for publication of Birds of Southeastern Arizona. Newsletters, preserved since the founding of the Tucson Audubon Society in 1957, are included. The complete set of this newsletter, officially known as The Vermillion Flycatcher and published since 1959, offers an ongoing record of the membership, activities and accomplishments of this strong and growing organization.
