Processing Information
Processing of the North Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company Records 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).
