Timeline of Social Movements in California Agriculture

curated by Sophia LaMonica

Timeline of Social Movements in California Agriculture, sourced from the CARA collections and culled from a comprehensive timeline of California's agricultural history, developed in 1987 by Axel Borg, Distinguished Wine and Food Bibliographer at UC Davis Library, that sprang from his work, A Bibliography of California Experiment Station Publications: 1877 to 1975, presents a history of agricultural unions in California. From the formation of the first fruit marketing cooperative in 1885, to the 1960s, when thousands of people around the globe supported the international table grape boycott started by Cesar Chavez and Larry Itliong, this history of social movements in California agriculture is archived and available online.
