Abstract
The correspondence, newsletters, photographs and brochures with related news clippings and government publications of a non-profit
conservation organization, the Canaan Valley Alliance, formed to oppose the Allegheny Power Company's proposed Davis Power
Project. The Project would have built a dam and created a lake in Canaan Valley displacing its original wetlands. The records
document the mobilization of an effective campaign on an ecological issue. The Alliance, together with other environmental
organizations, such as the Sierra Club, successfully opposed dam construction in the Canaan Valley.
