The majority of materials address environmental issues or geographic areas specific to New York State, although the Midwest is well represented. The series is divided into four subseries - serials, New York publications, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation publications and publications about issues outside of New York.
This series consists of publications about environmental issues and geographic regions outside of New York. Reports are authored by federal, state, county and city governments and their agencies, universities, and non-profit organizations. Publications discuss broader national issues such as chemicals in local communities, transportation and American rivers. However, the majority of reports address specific geographic areas and their respective problems. This includes pollution in Alaska, Great Lakes water quality and overall health, wildlife habitat in Illinois, toxic pollution in Rhode Island, and fauna and sediments in the Detroit River. Files also may include supplemental materials related to the respective report such as an accompanying cover letter.
