The Northridge Farms Thoroughbred Horse Photograph Collection is one of over 650 archival collections in Special Collections & Archives. These collections give library users access to unique and historically relevant primary source research materials. The Northridge Farms Collection has the distinction of having more pictures of horses than any other archival collection at California State University, Northridge.

The 100-acre Northridge Farms was purchased by J.H. and Annette Ryan as well as Mary Strnad in 1943. Before the Ryan and Strnad purchase, the property was a working thoroughbred horse farm known as the Marwyck Ranch. Barbara Stanwyck, a movie star, and Zeppo Marx, her business manager, purchased the 130-acre Marwyck Ranch property in 1936. The original property line ran from Devonshire Street on the north to Lassen Street on the south. The eastern boundary was Reseda Boulevard with the Wilbur Wash on the western edge (near Wilbur Avenue).
