We
hope you enjoy your visit today to the Saint Bernard National
Archives and Hall of Fame. It is our goal for you to find the Archives useful,
informative and entertaining. Gathered here is information on the Saint
Bernard which now spans
three centuries, so it may require
several visits to take it all in. You are welcome back anytime as we
are open twenty- four hours a day, seven days a week! You should
consider
bookmarking the site address:
http://clubs.akc.org/saints/Archives/Welcome.htm to your favorites and install a shortcut on your desktop. Then
you are only a click away to one of the most complete breed history
sites on the World Wide Web. We
have gone through quite a few changes and additions to make the Archives
more accessible. The Archive Newsroom is where
you can keep up-to-date on the latest Archive updates and information.
To track the Archive updates and current news, go to The
Archive Newsroom
click on
The
Latest Archive Updates and News
This link will host information of when the site was updated,
what has been updated, new firsts for the breed or record(s), plus other
notes of interest. Also, the most current Performance Periodicals will
be in this link. As the link is updated, the older periodicals will
then be moved to the newsroom and categorized according to subject
matter for future viewing.
THANK YOU Marty Thurman for creating a wonderful piece of
art for the
Archive Newsroom. All will enjoy your remarkable talents
for some time to come.
Another Archive room of great interest is
the Spotlight Room. This
room provides a stage to feature, remember and learn of important
events, dogs and people in the Saint Bernard’s past. The club historian,
Marge Macgregor, will supply the material from the Saint Bernard Club of
America's National Library. The spotlight will shine on a new subject
around the 1st of each month.
Be sure to take a moment and visit the
Saint Bernard
Hall of Fame Room and view
the newest members to
the Saint Bernard Hall of Fame. Each month the new inductees and
Plateaus of Excellence will honored in this room. Also in the
room, you may view all the Saint Bernards in the Hall of Fame from 1879
to date and review their achievements.
The newest room to open in the Archives
is the
Venues Room. The
exhibits in this room show the many AKC and SBCA venues where the Saint
Bernards of today earn titles, set breed firsts and breed records.
Learn more about the different venues and how they link to the Saint
Bernard's past. Today's venues help preserve the conformation,
obedience, tracking, agility, weight pulling, draft work and temperament
of the Saint Bernard. The venues listed in this room are the
specific areas of competition in which the Archive records are obtained.
If you have a web page of your own, why not link to the Saint
Bernard National Archives and share the site with your visitors (address
above).
Finally, a "big" THANK YOU to Barb
Jansen in Alaska! For it is Barb we owe our thanks for the foresight
and idea of bringing the Saint Bernard National Archive's historical
records to the World Wide Web for all to view. It was through her
encouragement alone that started me on the road to format all the data I
had collected over the past decades--data in the different files now
located in the Archives. Barb was the founding webmaster for the SBC of
America and we started uploading the "hundreds" of files back in 1998.
Enjoy, and welcome again to the Saint Bernard National Archives
and Hall of Fame!
