Scope and Content: Accession No. 1886-8 is a merger of four previous accessions (1886-1, 1886-2, 1886-3, 1886-4). Accession 1886-1 (1965-1969) consisted primarily of presidents' files, including issue files and correspondence with the Northwest conservation representative, Brock Evans. Accession 1886-2 contained FWOC files from 1965 to 1973, including intraorganizational correspondence, FWOC annual convention files, and the files of Betty Hughes as an officer and president between 1972-1973. Geographical area files on Redwood National Park in California were also prominent in the accession. Accession 1886-3 (1965-1976) included intraorganizational correspondence and FWOC annual convention files. Accession 1886-4 (1960-1962, 1971-1975) was composed primarily of intraorganizational correspondence, including the letters of the Western Outdoors Annual editor, Hasse Bunnelle, the Hawaii FWOC vice president, Robert Wenkam, and FWOC secretary and president Betty Hughes. Reports, resolutions, and convention files were also parts of the fourth accession.

Accession 1886-8 is organized into three major series: intraorganizational correspondence, general correspondence, and issues related to geographical areas. Intraorganizational correspondence is arranged chronologically and divided by creator. The correspondence of Hasse Bunnelle is related to her editiorial position. Most of the Northwest conservation representative's correspondence was handled by Brock Evans (1967-1973). The treasurer's correspondence, which includes financial statements, was created by Una Davies (1964-1968) and Katherine Martin (1968-1976). The bulk of the miscellaneous intraorganizational correspondence was created by Betty Hughes as FWOC secretary (1961-1970), vice president (1970-1971), and president (1971-1973). Her major correspondents included the following FWOC presidents: Clark Jones (1965-1967), Ken Baldwin (1967-1969), Frank Fickeisen (1969-1971), and vice president during her term, Robert Wenkam. Hazel Wolf's correspondence as the vice president for Western Washington composes the rest of the miscellaneous intraorganizational correspondence from 1974-1976.

General correspondence is arranged alphabetically. California conservation issues and legislators are featured in the correspondence. The prominent Geographical Areas series is arranged alphabetically, grouped by U.S. state unless the topics cross state lines, such as the Colorado River. The Geographical Areas files include wilderness proposals, correspondence, and maps related to the specific areas. Redwood National Park in California is well documented.

Records of the Federation's annual conventions, 1960-1975, are also included.

Records of the Natural Resources Council of America (NRCA) are also included in Accession 1886-8.
