This collection documents the environmental activism of Gail Rockwood in Pennsylvania. The collection closely follows her involvement in various state government and civic environmental agencies. Specifically, Rockwood's efforts as a member of the CAC from 1976 to 2001 are documented, as are her efforts to increase the curriculum of environmental education provided to elementary and high school students in Pennsylvania. The collection focuses on a variety of subjects including water and air pollution, mining, and appropriate land use. These major subjects are documented through legislative drafts and other legal documents, meeting notes and minutes, correspondence, newspaper and article clippings, and program announcements and agendas. The collection has been arranged by series according to Rockwood's areas of involvement. Each series includes materials generated from and related to activities conducted as a member of a number of environmental groups. Subject areas related to membership in political and civic organizations generally pertain to the organizational and legal aspects of involvement in those organizations. This collection is only arranged at the series level; there is no individual folder level inventory for this collection at the present time.
