Scope and Contents Note

From the Collection:

The Bearded Collie Club of America collection contains the records and collected items of the Club devoted to the Bearded Collie breed.

The Secretary's records include board and annual meeting minutes dating back to 1978 and the officer's files on numerous club administration matters such as the breed standard, elections, finance, rules and ethics, events, membership, and committees including Breed Judging, Health, and Herding. Present in the files are ballots, reports, correspondence, forms, handbooks, and more.

The publications consist of the club's magazine Beardie Bulletin and its newsletter, which was eventually namedBagpipes. Both publications serve as sources for the development of the club and breed and the involvement of both in the fancy. The publications series spans from 1969 to 2011 and tracks the breed's transition from a primarily conformation participant to an agility and herding competitor as well. Also present are various examples of member club publications and unaffiliated and international breed magazines The Bearded Collie, The Bearded News, and more dating back to the 1970s.

The dog show files consist of catalogs, premium lists, and a variety of ephemera from Bearded Collie dog shows, most substantially the National Specialty (from 1974 to 2014) and a few regional specialties and other member club events. A small selection of photographs document British, Specialty, and Westminster Kennel Club winners. Interested researchers should also consult the Secretary's files, which feature correspondence and other documentation of show planning and judge nominations.

The office files also compliment the Secretary's records, containing a variety of files kept and maintained by the club, including the distribution materials and other ephemera, stud books, club logos, membership rosters and information packets, and historical scrapbooks and research such as titleholder lists.

The Parade of Champions and related materials are all mounted and laminated reproductions of images created for a club exhibition of Bearded Collie champions and Best of Breed winners over the years.

Audiovisual materials chiefly document National Specialties from 1987 to 2014 in both VHS and DVD format.
