The Online Archive of California brings together historical materials from a variety of
state institutions, including museums, historical societies, and archives. These materials include letters, legal documents, manuscripts, works of art, diaries, and historical photographs. Thousands of
photographs.
From
just the
Bancroft Library at Berkeley:
Artistic homes, 1887-1890,
agricultural laborers, 1906-1911,
the San Francisco earthquake and fire,
construction of the Golden Gate Bridge,
San Quentin Prison, and
war relocation camps. And that's barely scratching the surface.
