The Society for the Preservation of Birds of Prey was established in 1966 to bring together raptor enthusiasts who wanted to encourage legislation to protect raptors and raptor habitat and to educate the public about raptors. The Society opposed falconry and private ownership and discouraged captive breeding except to restock wild populations of birds. The Society was headed by J. Richard Hilton.
The collection contains publications of the Society for the Preservation of Birds of Prey, books and publications on raptors and falconry, and information on environmental and endangered species legislation, as well as subject files, and research.
There are no access restrictions on the materials for research purposes, and the collection is open to the public.
The researcher assumes full responsibility for observing all copyright, property, and libel laws as they apply.
There are no known other archival collections created by the Society for the Preservation of Birds of Prey at the date of processing.
