Every October organizations across the nation sponsor programs that support and promote the management and preservation of our historical heritage. California is one of many states that produce a poster showcasing images and documents in their collections. This year, the poster celebrates the 165th anniversary of statehood. Represented in the poster seen here are the 1849 state constitution title page (in English), the state constitution proclamation page (in Spanish) and the first law enacted in 1850 establishing the state’s Public Archives.
Archives, special collections and historical societies as well as other organizations throughout the state serve as repositories of permanent, unique and irreplaceable material. The City of Hope Archives serves as its institutional repository. Its collections include historic photographs, publications, documents and much more. Examples of the types of materials we provide include biographical information related to scientists and staff, photographs that document the history of the institution and historic materials related to buildings and grounds.
