Canaan Valley Alliance Records
Collection
Collection Number: A&M 2781
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.
