Acquisition Information
Gift of various donors since 1983 to the Perris Valley Historical and Museum Association. Custody of collection transferred
to the Perris Valley Museum Historical Archives in December of 2010.
Biography/Administrative History
The Perris Valley Museum Historical Archives Reference Books, Booklets and Magazines Collection, 1868-2004 is comprised of
books, booklets and magazines donated by various individuals since 1983 to the Perris Valley Museum and Historical Association.
As most of the provenance of the original donors and the full scope of their collections was lost, the amalgam of the books
was grouped as whole.
Scope and Content of Collection
As most of the provenance of a large number of the books was lost, it is difficult to determine the exact significance of
the volumes to their individual collections.
As such, an artificial but intuitive arrangement was established to make the collection accessible to researchers.
