Sacramento History Online is a joint project of four Sacramento County institutions to digitize and catalog over 2000 items from their collections. The project's goal has been to document agriculture and transportation in the Sacramento region from the mid 19th to early 20th century.

Partners for this project are the California State Library's California History Room, the California State Railroad Museum Library, the Sacramento Archives and Museum Collection Center, and the Sacramento Public Library's Sacramento Room. These four institutions have extensive and often unique holdings in regional history materials. They collectively serve over 20,000 patrons per year- including students, independent historians, teachers, writers, genealogists, publishers, and the film and television industries.

The U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services generously funded the project from 2001-2004 under the provision of the Library Services & Technology Act (LSTA) and the State Librarian. Since 1957, the LSTA has awarded grants on a competitive basis for locally initiated proposals to develop innovative use of technology, networking, and resource sharing.

Contact information for each of the project partners is listed on their About Us page, which is linked from the project credits list below. Website visitors with questions about this project are encouraged to download the project summary sheet or contact the grant administrators: the California State Railroad Museum Library (2001-2002: Transportation ) or the Sacramento Public Library's Sacramento Room (2002-2004 phase: Agriculture ). For questions about specific images on this website, (including reproduction requests) please check the record for its owning institution and contact that project partner directly. Questions about general California history that are not specifically about images on this website and donation offers should be directed to the project partner of your choice.
