Briard Club of America Archives
The Briard Club of America has it's history documented in a collection of writings, photographs, and publications. Some date back to the 1940's. One can imagine that even for a small club, the volume of material is large. Preservation and accessibility of these materials are concerns. To do this, the club has had a series of archivists through the years who have dedicated lifetimes to this task. Three individuals in particular who have influenced what we have in our archives are Dianne McLeroth, Barbara Eichner, and Barbe Lynch (our current archivist). Because of the efforts of these individuals, we have very interesting archival material that we can access. Links to some of this material are provided below. Each year our archivist prepares a display for the Briard Club of America National Specialty. We are including some of those presentations below as well.
