This series contains meeting minutes, reports, and subject files related to the Albany County Environmental Management Council and the related Four County Committee on Recycling (also called the Temporary Committee for Recycling for the Capital District Region.) The Council was formed in 1971 as an advisory body to the Albany County Commissioner of Health. Jackson Davis served as administrative assistant. The Four County Committee on Recycling, whose members represented the counties of Albany, Schenectady, Rennselaer, and Saratoga, was founded in 1972 to investigate the possibility of a recycling system proposal for the Capital District. The Council's primary focus was solid waste management and recycling. The series includes subject files with articles, publications, notes, and reports on these topics. There are also three research files on the environmental impact of oil refineries.

This series contains bibliographies and bibliographic materials produced and collected by Jackson Davis in connection to the various environmental organizations he was a member of, particularly the Environmental Forum and the Futures Group. Much of the material consists of notes of citations and photocopies of indexes and other bibliographies. Several published bibliographies are included, some by Davis and some by Dr. Jack Bulloff, a professor at the State University of New York at Albany and contributor to the Environmental Forum. Notable is the "Documentalist in Environmental Studies" folder, which contains Davis' interpretation on the process of creating bibliographies. Bibliographies produced specifically for use in the Environmental Forum class are located in that series.
