The California State Library was founded
in 1850 and the collections in the California History
Room strongly demonstrate the State's illustrious and
colorful past. Our collections cover all aspects of
life in the State from prehistoric times to the present
day and all fifty-eight counties. In addition to the
book collection, there are a wealth of photographs,
maps, manuscripts, diaries, newspapers, periodicals,
sheet music, post cards, microforms, posters, pamphlets,
programs, announcements and other ephemera. While representative
in all subject areas relating to California, the collection
is particularly strong in the Gold Rush period, Sacramento,
San Francisco, the Mother Lode, ethnic studies, mines
and mining, business and government, genealogy, biography
and popular culture. The California History Room is
supplemented by the collections of the Library's Government
Publications Section and the Witkin State Law Library.
