The collection comprises approximately 198 pressed, dried algae specimens collected primarily by Dr. Stephen Davis, distinguished professor of biology at Seaver College, Pepperdine University. The collection dates range from 1975 to 1988 and were collected from locations along the California shore from Malibu Lagoon, Surfrider Beach, Point Dume, Latigo Bay, Bodega Bay and locations in Sonoma and Monterey counties. The majority of the specimens were collected by Dr. Davis in 1976 in Monterey County, California. Each specimen is meticulously mounted, identified by genus and species, and labeled with the location and conditions of the collection site.

Most of the specimens were collected while Dr. Davis was a postgraduate student under the supervision of world-class botanist, Dr. Isabella Abbot.
