Biography/Administrative History
The Historic photographic file was compiled by the Monterey Public Library, beginning in the 1930s and later became a central
photographic file for the Library's California History Room archives. Most of the materials were received as gifts from area
residents, local writers, and photographers. The original photographic file has since been augmented by several other photographic
collections.
Scope and Content of Collection
Organized in files by general subject; in some cases, organized in files by specific photographer and arranged numerically
within subject folders.
