Ecumenical Task Force of the Niagara Frontier - Love Canal
Collection
The Ecumenical
Task Force of the Niagara Frontier, Inc. (ETF), was founded
in early 1979 by the interfaith community of Western New
York in response to the hazardous waste crisis of the Love
Canal. Its initial objectives were to provide direct aid
to Love Canal residents, provide an advocacy voice for the
religious community on behalf of the residents, to inform
religious communities of the issues, and to work toward
long-range solutions to the chemical waste problems locally
and throughout the country.
ETF collected
extensive documentation from 1979-1991 (97 Cartons; 145.5
linear feet) of the toxic waste controversies associated
with the Love Canal and related toxic waste sites in Niagara
County, New York. The reports in the resource file and elsewhere
in the records include draft documents, photocopied statements
prepared by Love Canal residents, scientists and ETF members
for hearings on the Love Canal, speeches, consultant reports,
journal articles, newspaper clippings, printed reports,
and court documents.
This web site
provides lists of the contents of their 97 cartons, along
with numerous on-line resources and documents.
