ACDCA History

ACDCA Historian historian@acdca.org

Committee Objectives and Goals: 
The Historian's job is to collect memorabilia to add to the archives collection.
The Historian is the guardian of the Club's Archives, to keep a list, preserve them, and display them for the membership whenever possible.

Essential Committee Functions:  The Historian is responsible to collect the memorabilia from club members. 
To go on line several times a year to ask if anyone has anything of interest to contribute. 
To ask authors of new books on ACD's to donate a copy.
To collect information from each National Specialty, including Pictures of winners, a Catalog and a T-Shirt.

We have a history going back to 1968, when a small group of people decided to form a Club to try to get our breed recognized by the American Kennel Club.  We were recognized in 1980.  I will be updating the Archives as necessary.

January 2007 Committee Report:

I enjoyed the 2006 Specialty in Rochester, MN, this year.  It is always nice to see old friends and make new ones.  I am sorry I was unable to bring any of the archives with me this year.  I hope to be able to bring some of the archives to future Specialties.

 I am in the process of collecting materials from this Specialty to add to the National Specialties archive’s books. The minimum I like to have is a specialty t-shirt, a catalog, photos of BISS, BOS, AOM winners, Winner’s Dog , Winner’s Bitch, Best Junior, HIT for Obedience, Agility, Rally and Herding. 

I have three volumes, starting with the 1984 Specialty that was held in St Louis.  This was the first licensed AKC Specialty.  The previous Historians kept very good records and I compiled all the information into the three volumes.  I hope to bring these with me to next year’s Specialty.
