ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA MISSION STUDIES ASSOCIATION:
"With the inception of a California Mission Studies Association,... a need will be filled which has been recognized by many over the past years. It is very important that ... the widest possible circle be drawn to be certain of including everyone with an active interest in the given period. Every aspect should be encompassed, including music, dance, arts, crafts, etc., as well as the obvious in an effort to make mission studies as comprehensive a subject as possible. Continuing in this vein, because of the direct relationship between all aspects of research in the mission period, it seems imperative that studies relating to presidios, ranchos, villas, pueblos, etc., be considered ... along with strictly mission oriented investigations."
-- Edna Kimbro, CMSA Founding Member, 1984
