Content and structure elements
Scope and content
Substantial collection of clippings, mainly from South Florida newsletters, on environmental issues: the condition of the Everglades, droughts, the 1970 jetport and Turkey Point controversies, Key deer, development and preservation projects. Though it covers the activities of the Society and its president, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, the bulk of the collection deals with four years of ongoing and often emotional public debate on the well-being of South Florida's ecology and economy
System of arrangement
Most clippings are arranged in general chronological order within dated scrapbooks; some material is loose within scrapbooks. Most reports and articles are in Box 1. Box 1 also has scrapbooks for 1973 and 1974; Box 2 has scrapbooks for 1970-1973
