Biographical Sketch
Ed Havran, a long time resident of Colleyville, Texas, was an alumnus
of Texas Tech University who had worked with the Texas dairy industry from
1947-1984. He and his wife, Muriel, had collected material from the Texas dairy
industry for thirty years. Most of Havran's life had been involved with the
dairy industry. His father sold milk in Oklahoma during the 1920's and later
moved the Havran family to Texas. As a member of the Future Farmers of America,
Havran showed dairy cattle for competition. He received his master's degree in
agricultural economics from Texas Tech and served as a vocational agriculture
teacher at one time. As a result of his participation in the dairy business, he
was an active member of the Texas Jersey Cattle Club and founder of the Texas
Dairy Heritage Foundation.
Scope and Contents
The Havran Papers located at Texas Tech University are mainly in
manuscript form and photographs. Also included are Texas oral history
interviews conducted by Havran with individuals such as B. Shaw, Joe Crouch,
and Ed Knolle. Additionally, he managed to acquire material from Metzger Dairy,
Knolle Farms, and the Texas Brown Swiss Association. The heritage material is
subdivided into correspondence, financial, legal, literary productions,
printed, and scrapbook material.
Organization
The Havran collection is arranged into three series:
Dairy Heritage Foundation is the first part of Havran's Papers. As a
result of his accumulation of information, Havran, in collaboration with Bob
Claussen from the Tarrant County Junior College, began soliciting the public
for any information concerning the past history of the Texas dairy industry. He
founded the Texas Dairy Heritage Foundation in 1986 for the sole purpose of
preserving Texas dairy records and documenting Texas dairy history. The Tarrant
County Junior College-Northwest Campus had in the past displayed some museum
pieces from Havran's Collection.
The Texas Jersey Cattle Club, representing the second part, is an
affiliate of the American Jersey Cattle Club and is an organization consisting
of Jersey cattle raisers. Havran had been a member and at one time a manager of
the organization. While a member, he collected breeder records, membership
mailing lists, and accounting records. This particular part of the collection
is dated between 1906-1990 and is subdivided into correspondence, financial,
legal, literary productions, printed material, and scrapbook material.
The third series is Photographs, 1908-1986 and undated. It comprises
of boxes 14-15 and is filed in alphabetical order. Included are mostly prints,
a few slides, and some negatives pertaining to both the Texas Dairy Heritage
Foundation and the Texas Jersey Cattle Club. Most photographs show Havran's
participation in the dairy industry. Some however are collected historic prints
from past dairy companies such as Metzger Dairy and the Lily Ice Cream
Company
For purposes of better organization and preservation, some items such
as books, oversize material, films, and cassettes were transferred to other
areas.
