Irish Water Spaniel pedigree of Champion Barney, c. 1880

The Breed and Club files are assembled from a wide variety of material which was collected by and/or submitted to the AKC Library & Archives, but never formally accessioned or cataloged. Most files include breed-specific article clippings and win shots from conformation shows. Often present are parent/regional breed club materials, such as Constitutions, bylaws, membership lists, breed standards (including illustrated), distribution materials, meeting minutes, and other administrative documents. Breed-specific pamphlets and small books, breed histories, pedigrees, ephemera (stud cards, holiday cards), small artwork, candid photographs, and show materials may also appear. These files serve as a "catch-all" for breed-specific materials that were not formerly donated by the club as part of an archival collection. These files may continue to grow.
