By News Desk
California Revealed is a state funded initiative to help California’s public libraries, in partnership with other local heritage groups, to digitize, preserve, and serve online historically significant Californiana.
Four digitized items
Four items from the Sierra Madre Historical Archives were digitized for the project: A Dictionary of Sierra Madre (1906), Bits from Wall’s Etched Books (1943), High Lights (1940-1948), and the Sierra Madre News (1906-1999). These publications are now accessible and free to the public (see link).
Digitization costs for the historical items were estimated at $22,905. The Sierra Madre Historical Preservation Society provided funds for insured shipping to the California State Library.
