The History Project's People Gallery

The Cat Fancy is not exclusively about the cats, even though they are the main focus. A great many talented individuals have sustained and contributed to the Fancy as breeders, owners, judges and officials for over 140 years.

In line with our efforts on behalf of the cats, it gives Karen and John great pleasure to announce the new beginnings of our People Gallery page. On this page you will find an initial alphabetical list with photos, by last name, of over 290 individuals, that over time we will be creating and linking data pages for. Karen has been extremely busy creating this gallery for you to peruse. Over time, both she and I will scour our joint-venture archives for material to add to the new pages for these individuals and announce them when they are ready to be first viewed.

No file on The History Project will be ever considered complete, as we will be adding new material as and when it becomes available, as well as new names and photos to this initial list.

Unidentified Burmese in a photo that accompanied a 1946 Cats Magazine article, written by Mr. Donald Came, who bred CH Moulmein Theebau, a Burmese born in 1948. Theebau is one of the cats pictured in the new Burmese Gallery on The History Project - http://cat-o-pedia.org/gallery/burmese.html. 

The two-part Cats Magazine article can be downloaded from the LIBRARY link on The History Project site.

If you have looked at individual cat pages (all 300+ of them!) on The History Project site, you will realize that each cat file comes with a FACTFILE, which includes pedigree, registration, and ownership information on the individual cat, plus a photo. 

We've long known that the information in the Factfiles is important historical pedigree data, so to make it even easier to locate all this data, we have compiled all 300+ Factfiles into a slideshow, which you can find at http://cat-o-pedia.org/factfiles/album/
