Founded primarily by George Ballis and Berge Bulbulian, National Land for people was a grassroots organization concerned with a number of environmental factors, most notably federal irrigation water use restrictions and the 160-acre limitation provision of the reclamation law as it applied to the west side of the San Joaquin Valley, California. It was most active in the 1970s and 1980s, and was known under different names before being incorporated as the National Land for People Foundation in 1974. The collection is comprised of legislation and legal papers, land sales documentation, correspondence, financial statements and contracts, reports, scholastic papers, historical and background information, press releases, newsletters, brochures, propaganda, campaign materials, maps, charts, newspaper and magazine issues and clippings, notes, photographs, books and journals, ledgers, and other materials pertaining to the history and activities of the organization and some of its founding members.
