Scope and Content of Collection
The Sonoma County Wine Library's online local history collection includes images of historical interest of the Sonoma County
wine industry from the 1870s through the 1990s. These images portray the wine makers and companies of Sonoma County, past

Most photographic postcards and a selection of photographs were taken by commercial photographers and include captions. Many
of the wine labels include vintage information. Items were selected from a wide range of wine-related collections comprising
the Sonoma County Wine History Collection, housed in the Sonoma County Wine Library. Some may also be found in the library

Sonoma County Visionaries, Immigrants and Winemakers. SPC.00086. Sonoma Wine Library, Healdsburg, California
Collected by Sonoma County Wine Library staff and others, 1988-2009.
Processed by Sonoma County Wine Library staff before 2009.
These photographs and other images were assembled primarily from the Sonoma County Library's Sonoma County Wine Library collection.
The digitization project was part of the California Local History Digital Resources Project (LHDRP), a multi-year program
supported by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology
Act, administered in California by the State Librarian. Leveraging the infrastructure of the California Digital Library (CDL)
in partnership with Califa and Infopeople, the LHDRP explores a model to aggregate, preserve, and provide permanent public
access to local history materials maintained by California cultural heritage institutions via a single statewide online access
point.
