SERI Files, 1974 January 25-December 30
Scope and Content Note
The Daniel Halacy Collection consists of correspondence and papers relating to aspects of his interest in the development of solar energy. The collection is divided into two series.
Series 1, SERI Files, reflects the effort by Arizonans to bring the national Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI), which had been created by the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA), to Arizona. This series traces the campaign conducted from 1974 to 1976 by public officials, academics, and business interests to achieve that end. Contained in twelve folders arranged chronologically are letters, private and public reports, minutes, and miscellaneous papers, concluding when it was apparent that Arizona would not be selected as the location for SERI.
Series 2, The Solar Jubilee, consists of records, arranged in twelve folders, pertaining to the annual meeting of the American Section of the International Solar Energy Society held in Phoenix, June 1-6, 1980.
