Abstract

The California Dairy Industry History Collectioncontains documentary items extracted from a large assemblage of materialscollected for use at an anticipated California Dairy Museum. Between 1976 and1981 California State Parks, in cooperation with the California Dairy Museumand Educational Foundation (CDMEF), participated in a joint venture to create amuseum at Wilder Ranch State Park in Santa Cruz County. The museum was intendedto showcase the contributions of the dairy industry to the social and economicdevelopment of California. In 1976 the CDMEF donated its collection of dairymachinery, equipment, and archival materials to the California State Parks. Thefoundation also established an advisory committee to assist California StateParks in managing the collection and in locating and acquiring additionalmaterials for the proposed museum. In 1981 the State Parks Commission voted notto fund the museum, and the collection went into storage—first at Wilder RanchState Park and then at the State Museum Resources Center in West Sacramento.The archival collection described in this guide covers the period of 1856 to1986 with the bulk of the material dating from 1930 to 1978..
