Project information: Silicon Valley History Online
Silicon Valley History Online is a collaboration of seven institutions providing the first gateway to the major historical
resources of this important California region. Images dating from 1800 to 2000 illustrating life in California's Santa Clara
Valley were selected from the collections of the California History Center, History San José, Intel Corporation Museum, San
José Public Library California Room, San José State University Special Collections, Santa Clara City Library Heritage Pavilion,
and the Santa Clara University Archives. Items include photographs, ephemera, artifacts, maps and manuscripts. They were digitized
as part of a one-year collaborative project funded by the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) administered by the California
State Library. For more information please see the Silicon Valley History Online website at
