Volume 1 comprises one portion of the Historical Society of Southern California (HSSC) Collection, which was donated to the
Huntington Library in 1992. The HSSC Collection as a whole contains approximately 15,000
photographs

it is an important visual record of the growth and history of the region.
The Historical Society created the collection from
photographs
contributed by many donors. Many of the
photographs
have an identifying note regarding the donation (e.g. "Groff Gift").
