Background

Scope and content:

The scrapbooks cover the years 1921, 1932-1950, and 1960-1965. They contain newspaper clippings, brochures, maps, reports, convention programs, ballots, and member lists.

Biographical / historical:

Evidence in local newspapers suggests that the Stockton Chamber of Commerce first formed in 1895, though it apparently did not last long in that form. The origins of the current, more permanent incarnation can be traced to 1901. Two decades later, it was reorganized. The Chamber's original goals were to stimulate the growth of Stockton and San Joaquin County and to market agricultural and manufactured goods. Projects it has promoted over the years included construction of a deep water port, passage of bonds for Stockton's high school, movement of the College of the Pacific to Stockton, building of the Crosstown Freeway and Interestate 5 between Stockton and Sacramento, and the production of movies in San Joaquin County.
