Hilgardia
Academic journal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hilgardia was a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the California Agricultural Experiment Station, which was founded by the Agricultural Experiment Stations Act of 1887. The title honors Eugene W. Hilgard, who was from 1875 to 1904 Professor of Agricultural Chemistry at UC Berkeley and was also the California Agricultural Experiment Station's first Director.[1] The journal, which was published from 1925 (volume 1) to 1995 (volume 62), published a total of 972 articles.[2]

The Hilgardia Project, launched in April 2011,[3] has now made freely available all of the Hilgardia articles in online pdf format. Many of the articles, 71 of which deal with viticulture, are still of scientific and commercial interest.[4] According to Janet White:[3]
Although production ceased in 1995, Hilgardia editions include classic research that is still widely cited in scientific literature, and many are considered cornerstones of current agricultural, environmental and nutritional research.
