This collection was assembled over a number of years by Robert Sollen, largely as background research for his reporting duties with the News-Press and his ongoing interest in oil and other environmental issues.

The following biographical sketch is drawn from material provided by Robert Sollen and from a January 24, 1997 article in the Santa Barbara News-Press.
