Background
Joseph Armstrong Baird, Jr. was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1922. He began his studies in art history at Oberlin College where he received a bachelor's degree and then attended Harvard University where he first earned a master's degree and finally a doctorate in art and architectural history in 1951.

He taught at the University of Toronto (1949-1953) before coming to Davis in 1953. Beginning as a lecturer in the Art Department, he retired as a full professor of fine arts in 1985. He continued to work as a consultant and art appraiser until his death in 1992.

acquisition informationPurchase of the Joseph A. Baird, Jr. Collection was made possible by the University of California Systemwide Shared Purchase Program. The collection was deposited in the Special Collections Department, Shields Library, in 1977. Upon the suggestion of Dr. Baird, the research files of Dr. Elliot Evans were acquired and added to the collection in 1978. Additional materials were added in the form of donations and purchases since that time and supplemental files from Dr. Baird were also interfiled into the collection. Following the death of Dr. Baird in 1992, the collection was closed, rearranged, and reindexed. Twenty monographs were extracted from the collection and cataloged for the Rare Books section of the Special Collections Department. Two monographs were similarly extracted and cataloged for the Main Library stacks. Also, thirteen serial publications were extracted and added to the Main Library's holdings as needed. The Clyde F. Trudell Collection was extracted and given its own collection number, D-24.
