Overview of City of Davis Artifacts

In the middle 1990s and later, Phyllis Haig operated the Hattie Weber Museum of Davis. In various ways, she came to accumulate at the Museum a varied collection of objects, documents, and pictures. When the operation of the Museum was transferred to the Yolo County Historical Society in June, 2008, these "artifacts" as official City language began to call them, were severed from the Museum and made a separate category called "City artifacts" in the contract with the Society to operate the Museum.
