State and UCDavis have a poor research library and collection of California crop plants

My grandfather grew Melrose peaches for decades up near Yuba City-Marysville in the North Central Valley/Sacramento Valley. But does the State of California or the University of California at Davis have any record of this peach, one of the best eating (vs canning peaches) ever grown in the USA ? No.

Why not? Too much corporate influence ? Or just incompetence ?
