California State Library.

Whew. These last few months have been a whirlwind!

From March to May, I was in California doing research and field work. The first part was spent in Sacramento, California at the State Library and the State Archive. At the California State Library, I spent a good amount of time in the California History Room. Overall the experience was very good. The library has several differant card catologue systems, on physical cards. There are always treasures to be found on the old card systems. In addition to the standard photo copier they have microfilm and book scanners that allow you to either email the page or save it to a flash drive. This system saved a lot of time and money. If you have research to do I highly suggest the California State Library.
