| Details The Wet Tropics Collection of historical material was generated by early rainforest environmental campaigns which ultimately led to the World Heritage listing of the Wet Tropics region.
The project was funded by the Wet Tropics Management Authority, through the Wet Tropics Community Support Program. History of the archive: (taken from a note with the archive) The Wet Tropics Management Authority has approved funding, through the Wet Tropics Community Support Program, for the collection and archiving of historical material generated by early rainforest environmental campaigns such as the Mt Windsor and Cape Tribulation to Bloomfield track blockades.
