Sonoma State University's North Bay Historic Preservation Digital Collection: Starting a Digital Project

摘要

A number of years ago, a staff member in the Sonoma State University (SSU) Library's regional and special collections department discovered a box of mounted photographs and accompanying display material of Sonoma County sites. A bit of detective work led to further identification of these photos as part of a larger compilation of materials associated with History 362, a course offered at SSU in the mid-1970s. More recently, additional materials were connected to this original discovery, including photo negatives, proof sheets, and some slides; a dozen audiotaped interviews of Sonoma County residents; student papers on the architectural styles of buildings in the county; resource inventories of historic county sites; and files from the offices of two history professors who were involved in the work to create these documents.
