Historical Library Tour Wet and Successful!
Despite the weather, a sold-out group braved the rain to tour three of Sacramento's most magnificent special collections during the final hours of CLA's annual conference, November 13th. For their soggy efforts they were rewarded with firsthand glimpses of Audubon's famous illustration of white owls in the State Library's California History Room, multiple copies of 19th century (and earlier!) maps housed in the bowels of the State Archives, and a fabulous artist's book made of marble and cow's teeth (!) in Sacramento Public Library's Sacramento Room. Some photos from our tour of the State Archives are below.
A warm thanks to our tour guides and hearty tourists for making this one of the most successful Library History Round Table events yet. And a special round of applause to Susan Hanks for pulling it all together!
