May 9th - Goodman Library, Napa County
While awaiting comments from the Sacramento Room archivist on my work, I had a little time today to make a trip to the Goodman Library, home of the Napa County Historical Society, in Napa, California. You can read about the history of this library at http://wordpress.napahistory.org/wordpress/?page_id=1110. Constructed ca 1901/1902, this building is considered the longest continuously operating library in California. Ms. Alexandria Brown, Research Librarian, gave me a tour of the upstairs reading room and archives. I enjoyed my visit and learned of the many volunteer and internship opportunities for students of MLIS/Archival Studies programs. Looking forward to helping out at this library in the future :). The Society has received community grant money to improve collections storage conditions, provide equipment for the transcription of oral histories and digitization of photographs, and updating its online catalog which is run through PastPerfect online (http://napahistory.pastperfect-online.com/37471cgi/mweb.exe?request=ks). It's a treasure trove of local Napa and California history.
