It was revived by Carl Wheat and Ezra Dane (1931) to bring an element of fun into the appreciation of history and provide support for historical projects and celebrations. The ECV Grand Council first established its official archives at the California Historical Society (1961), but space was limited there, and, with the aid of University of the Pacific historian and Clamper, Richard Coke Wood, E Clampus Vitus later moved its archives to the University of the Pacific (1976). Scope and Content The E Clampus Vitus Archives currently consists of two series. Series 1: Papers (1931-) contains by-laws, minutes, correspondence, fiscal records, member writings and biographical materials, clippings and other materials chronicling activities of the Grand Council and local chapters of the order (notably its landmarks recognition program and its outings, known as"Transierra Roisterous Alliances of Senior Humbugs (T.R.A.S.H.)." Series 1 also contains local chapter records and publications. Series 2: Photographs consists of photographs of individual chapter activities (1936-). Additions to the collection are anticipated.

  • A Pioneer at Sutter's Fort, 1846-1850; the Adventures of Heinrich Lienhard
    A pioneer at Sutter's fort, 1846-1850; the adventures of Heinrich Lienhard. Translated and edited by Marguerite Eyer Wilbur from the original German manuscript LIENHARD AS A YOUNG MAN. FROM A FAMILY PHOTOGRAPH. Courtesy of Miss Mary Lienhard. This Book is Number Three of the Calafía Series. The legend of Calafía is intimately associated with the nomenclature of California. This fanciful tale occurs in the fifth book of a popular Portuguese-Spanish cycle of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, a romance in which the knightly and heroic deeds of Prince Esplandian, son of King Amadis, who rallied to the support of the Christian faith when it was threatened by the pagan forces before the walls of Constantinople, are depicted in the elaborate manner of the period. As the battle between the Crescent and the Cross reached its zenith, the opposing armies were thrown into turmoil when Esplandian fell suddenly in love with one of the allies of the pagan King Armato, a beautiful queen who lived on an island called California, “very close to that part of the terrestial paradise, which was inhabited by black women without a single man among them, who lived in the manner of Amazons.” The name of this queen was Calafía.
