This information is presented from two vantage points.

The first vantage point is Davis history as a whole, as with, for example, population from the start to now. These and other "history as a whole" aspects are reported in Folder 1, to the left.

The second is in terms of periods or eras in Davis history. On this site, Davis history is divided into nine periods. These are shown in the folders to the left that begin with the number "2."

________________

This site also has three secondary purposes.

+  Housed in folder 3, to the left, the first of these secondary purposes is to publish original research on Davis history, which is, at this time, the Papers on Davis History Series produced by the Publications Committee of the Davis Historical Society.

+  The next secondary purpose is to present information on Davis historic preservation and historical resources (folder 4).

+  Last, materials on the Davis Historical Society are assembled in Folders 5.

This site has a companion and complementary site called RESEARCHING DAVIS HISTORY at www.davishistoryresearch.org.  The site you are looking at here--titled Davis History--is about historical substance per se. The other site is, in contrast, about learning how to learn Davis history and working up new history.

No matter what the site, Happy Browsing!       John Lofland, site coordinator
