Scope and Contents Note

From the Collection:

Club administration includes meeting minutes dating from 1913 to 1993. They document annual meetings and gatherings of the Board of Directors; some minutes files also include related correspondence, memos, membership directories, proposals, statistics, and other reports. Further ISCA materials include standard revisions documentation, treasurers reports and other financial records, and correspondence relating to the club's financial problems circa 1980 as well as the re-evaluation of procedures and policies in regards to the National Futurity and Gun Dog Classic shows.

The dog show materials contain digital video discs with audiovisual footage of National Specialties from 2003 to 2005, and 2010 to 2015. Inserts feature photocopies of competitor listings from the catalog.

The Lucy Jane Myers collection of photographs (1860-1966) are predominently American and Canadian win shots from the 1940s to 1960s, including many well-known and dual champions in conformation and in the field. Also present are historical photographs used in the breed book This is the Irish Setter by William Thompson, artwork, field shots, candids from shows and a dog-attended premiere of the film Big Red (1962) organized by the ISC of Milwaukee, and photos from the kennels Verbu (labelled VER-01 to VER-13), Tyronne Farm (TYR-01 to TYR-10), Runwild (RUN-01 to RUN-05), Thenderin (THE-01 to THE-15), and Tirvelda (TRI-01 to TRI-09).

The Irish Setter Genetic Registry contains applications for probable genetic non-carrier status for Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA). The files include all application requirements: a test-mating service certificate, test-litter examination form, and an opthalmic examination form. Within these can be found litter and breeding information, correspondence from veterinarians, and more.
