Scope and Content Note
The papers of Charles F. Wurster consist of correspondence, reprints, manuscripts,
publications, clippings, and videos. The collection dates from 1963 to 2005. The collection
focuses on two areas: legal action against DDT, Aldrin Dieldrin, and other insecticides
and the activities of Environmental Defense. Dr. Wurster’s writings and correspondence
as well as subject files complete the collection. The writing series contains research
articles, editorials, statements and testimony. Frequent topics include: the effects
of pesticides on the terrestrial and marine ecosystems. The papers are housed in 55
boxes (27 linear ft) arranged into 12 series:

Otis G. Pike, David R. Obey and Daniel Patrick Moynihan.
The highest concentration of correspondence comes from Lorrie Otto, a Wisconsin conservationist;
Robert van den Bosch, Professor of Entomology at UC Berkeley; and the executives of
Environmental Defense.
