You and Your Schnauzer. Daniel Kiedrowski, editor and publisher, c. 1960s

The Standard Schnauzer Club of America (SSCA) records include documentation of the club’s efforts to promote the Standard Schnauzer breed in the United States. A notable part of the collection are the club’s newsletters and periodicals, Pepper 'N Salt, documenting the club’s membership, dog shows, pedigrees and champions, breeders, meetings, finances, and articles of interest from 1951 to 2011. Other publications include versions of the SSCA Source Book, regional club publication Beards 'N Brows, and breed books in English and other languages. The collection also contains Board and General Meeting Minutes and agendas, correspondence, and membership records. A variety of National Specialty dog show records include audio-visual recordings, photographs and slides, memorabilia, catalogs and premium lists, and show records and pedigrees for individual Standard Schnauzers. There are approximately 2,400 slides mostly dating from the late 1970s to early 1980s and many educational videos. Long-time breeder Lt. Col. Frances Reynolds’ film footage is included as well as a photograph album depicting Reynolds and Salzundpfeffer Standard Schnauzers in the 1970s and early 1980s.
