Florida State Citrus Archive

Florida Citrus ArchivesFlorida State Citrus Archive

Adopted in 2001

Growing slowly over many years, Professor Mack's collection of citrus-related materials formed the basis of an archives unique to the field of citrus.

In 1988, the inclusion of a special room to house the collection in the Jack Berry Citrus Building brought about more rapid growth. The Thomas B. Mack Citrus Archives became the official archives of several citrus organizations over the next fourteen years.

As of May 4th, 2001, the State of Florida declared the Thomas B. Mack Citrus Archives collection to be the official archives of the Florida citrus industry. And now we have moved into larger quarters to serve our patrons better.

Florida Southern College generously donated an antique home on the campus to be the new home of the Florida Citrus Archives.

Professor Mack wrote the Documented History of the Florida Citrus Archives, and there is a copy on hand in the archives for visitors to read.
