Davis History

Archive-site of materials on the history of Davis, California.

On this site, Davis history materials are archived from two vantage points.

The first is Davis history as a whole, as with, for example, population from the start to now. Materials of this sort are in Folder 1 (to the left).

The second is as periods or eras in Davis history. For present purposes, there are nine such periods. These are shown in the folders to the left that begin with the number "2."

________________

Presenting Davis history materials has been the primary purpose of this site. But it has also had four secondary purposes.

+  Housed in folder 3, the first of these has been to publish original research on Davis history. This has taken the form of the the Papers on Davis History Series produced by the Publications Committee of the Davis Historical Society.

+  The second has been to present information on Davis historic preservation and historical resources (folder 4).

+  Third, materials on the Davis Historical Society are assembled in Folders 5.

+  Last, notices of some Davis History relevant books published in the late '00s  appear in Folder 6.
