[Identification of item]. The Junípero Serra Collection. Collection Number: JSC. Santa Bárbara Mission Archive-Library
The original materials remained in Serra's hands until his death in 1784. It was passed on to succeeding Presidentes of the
mission system. As friars elsewhere confronted mission secularization and confiscation in the 19th century, they sent their
missions' historical documents and materials to Mission Santa Bárbara, which has remained in the hands of the Franciscans
from its founding in 1786 until the present day.
