This non-profit association has been a guiding force in preserving Monterey’s history since the founding of the association in 1931. Guarding Monterey’s precious historic assets and the preservation and presentation of its historical heritage for future enjoyment has been made possible by citizens who care and give generously of their time and resources. The Association’s mission is to share the histories and the diverse legacies of people, stories, and places that continue to shape Monterey. It possesses extensive collections of furnishings, paintings, photographs, costumes, books, manuscripts, and other artifacts focused on Monterey and California. Notes: Francois Ducharne was a notable producer of printed heavy silk fabrics in the pre- World War II period, a time where cooperative ventures between fabric houses and artists such as Raoul Dufy were not unusual. Pre World War II, Michel Dubost was Ducharne's most oft-utilized fabric designer. Dubost and Ducharne split after the War, and it is not know who produced the house's fabrics then. Examples by Ducharne are rare, but examples of the house are in collections at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, and Costume Institute, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
