Uncovering California's Environmental Collections Project
Collection is open for research.
Processing of the W.W. Waggoner Papers was generously funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and administered by the Council
on Library and Information Resources (CLIR). UC Davis Special Collections was awarded a Cataloging Hidden Special Collections
and Archives grant from 2010-2012, "Uncovering California's Environmental Collections," in collaboration with eight additional
special collections and archival repositories throughout the state and the California Digital Library (CDL). Grant objectives
included processing hidden collections related to the state's environment and environmental history. The collections document
an array of important sub-topics such as irrigation, mining, forestry, agriculture, industry, land use, activism, and research.
Together they form a multifaceted picture of the natural world and the way it was probed, altered, exploited and protected
in California over the twentieth century. Finding aids are made available through the Online Archive of California (OAC).
