The Richard Frank Papers contains his testimony and those of others on the debate over Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB) Destruction and its effect on the environment. This issue dominated the attention of Frank after the University of North Dakota received permits to burn PCB. This is evident with the vast array of newspaper articles that Frank wrote on this issue to the Grand Forks Herald. The collection also consists of meeting minutes and surveys from the organization Citizens Concerned About Toxic Hazards. This collection also consists of material from the Institute for Ecological Studies at the University of North Dakota, 1970-1983. Frank was very active in the Institute and even served on the Executive Committee. The collection contains meeting minutes and correspondence. The collection also contains materials from other organizations Frank was involved with. This includes the Lake Agassiz Homeowners Association, the North Dakota Academy of Science, the Grand Forks Cooperative, and the Experiment in International Living. Also included is a folder entitled Humanities and Public Issues of Grand Forks. This issue focused on the future growth and shape of the city of Grand Forks.
