Biography / Administrative History
John Martin “Mike” Weber was born April 13, 1913, in El Centro, California. The fifth of six brothers, Weber received his
early schooling in El Centro and Burbank, California. In 1930 his family moved to Corvallis, Oregon, where he graduated from
high school. He then attended Oregon State University in Corvallis. Within five years, Weber attained a master’s degree in
science education, completing his studies in 1937.
Rejected from the armed services during World War II for poor eyesight, Weber taught high school and elementary school science
in Portland, Oregon’s School District #1. There, he met and married his wife Ferris Jane Green in 1941. Together they raised
three daughters, Cathy, Rachel, and Martha. In 1946, after nine years of teaching in Portland, Weber returned to California
to work administrative jobs at the Parker and Crestline dams in the San Bernardino Mountains.
In 1949, Weber joined the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) as an educational consultant, with emphasis in the
sciences. The relationship between Weber and SCOE lasted 30 years, and in his position Weber instituted numerous programs,
educational activities and community partnerships. In 1950, he assisted with the organization of the County Science Steering
Committee, which published The Natural History Guide for the Sacramento region and The Outdoor World… of the Sacramento Region.
The guide had seven editions. Weber also served as a consultant on a series of radio programs on KFBK, called KFBK Goes to
School: Down the Science Byways, which was designed for students and to bring science into the classroom. He also created
a newsletter for science teachers and served as consultant on books about Sacramento County and California’s native oaks.
Weber wrote a local history for schools with C. G. Winter, entitled Heart of California: Sacramento County Then and Now, in
1959. He became deeply involved with the formation of the Save the American River Association, the creation of the American
River Parkway and Bicycle Trail, and the Sacramento Tree Foundation. Weber also fostered a partnership between the SCOE and
the Sacramento Civic Theater, which encouraged students to participate in and watch live theater. He also participated in
and helped further the aims of the Japanese American Student Conference Program from the time of its inception in 1934 until
well into the 2000s.
After his retirement in 1979, Weber continued his work with SCOE. He kept a desk at the office and helped plan workshops for
students. In 1985, he was honored as a national science teacher by the National Science Teacher’s Foundation. He was also
an active member of the California Retired Teachers Association, co-chairing their history committee. The committee and the
association published multiple histories of local schools, biographies of pioneer teachers, and a newsletter.
In retirement, Weber was an active member of the Renaissance Society, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Sacramento, and
the American River Association, in addition to his activities with the California Retired Teachers Association. Weber died
of heart failure on June 12, 2008.
Scope and Content of Collection
This collection primarily documents the professional activities of Martin J. Weber, a prominent educator in the Sacramento
area, with a small number of personal papers that relate to his family history and interests. Collected by Weber and preserved
by his family, the collection details his time spent working for the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) as an education
consultant for science, as well as his work with the California Retired Teachers Association (CRTA) and Sacramento’s Japanese
American Student Conference program. The collection also contains materials related to local history, which Weber collected
as part of his work as an educator. The original order of the papers was not discernable, and an artificial series hierarchy
was created based on similar subject material. As the majority of the records were not contained within folders, items were
grouped according to subject and folder titles were created in order to provide context. All records already contained within
folders were kept together and Weber’s original folder titles were copied onto the new folders. Most newsprint has been photocopied
onto archival paper for preservation purposes.
Contained within the collection are textual records including correspondence; newspapers, newspaper clippings, magazines,
and magazine articles; papers, publications, and reports; newsletters, meeting minutes, and associated notes; brochures; lesson
plans; research materials; conference agendas; and educational texts related to history and science. Other formats include
photographs, negatives, 35mm slides, filmstrips, and cassette tapes. The geographic focus of the material is Sacramento and
California, and dates from the 1930s through the 2000s. Topics and subjects included in the collection are: education in Sacramento,
Sacramento history, science and history education, Sacramento County Office of Education, California Retired Teachers Association,
Sacramento County Science Steering Committee, Sacramento Tree Foundation, California’s native oak trees, and the Japanese
American Student Conference program.

The collection is arranged 5 into series:

Personal Files
ca. 1925-2005
1979-2008
Series Scope and Content Summary
This series contains Weber’s personal correspondence and research materials. The records include house histories for the Weber
family’s various residences, as well as genealogical research materials for the Weber family. As Weber’s extended family were
Primitive Baptists, there are various publications from Primitive Baptist organizations, including sermons and histories.
Weber was also involved with the Unitarian Universalist Society of Sacramento, and the series contains the Society’s directories
from 1964 through 2004. Also of note are the records related to California State University, Sacramento’s Renaissance Program—an
educational and enrichment program for seniors—from 1998 through 2005. The majority of the personal files in the series date
from Weber’s retirement in 1979 until his death in 2008.
