The Fire Island Association, Inc. was founded in 1955 to advocate for, protect, and preserve the island and the interests of its homeowners, business owners, and visitors. The Citizens Committee for a Fire Island National Seashore was a grassroots organization formed in the 1960s to protect the island's ecosystem from a proposed highway. The collection, dating from 1960 to 1965, holds printed matter and correspondence that chronicles the advocacy of these two groups against the construction of a highway and for the establishment of the Fire Island National Seashore. less
