Environmental Studies Collections at Yale 

Welcome to the Yale University Library's Primary Source Guide for Environmental Studies . This guide provides an overview of environment-related documents held in various repositories run by the Yale University Library system. 

Collections have been organized under several categories:  Forestry, Environmental Activism, Environmental Politics and Law, Natural Resource Conservation, and Local Environmental Issues collections.  A full list of all select collections is available under "List of Collections."

The Yale Library System also provides researchers access to millions of government documents.  See "Government Document Resources" to learn how to access Government Documents in Environmental Studies. 

The primary source collections are mostly housed in the Manuscripts and Archives at Sterling Memorial Library, with some in Beinecke Library.
