Created by Susie Baker Fountain, a local historian and journalist, this is a premier historical source for Humboldt County and the surrounding region. The collection covers the years 1850-1966, with emphasis on the earlier years. Primary source materials are valuable for the study of the early settlement and development, Indian-white interactions, early military history, real estate, lumber and railroad industries, accounts of families and individuals, small communities and mining history. The collection received LSTA funding to microfilm original materials.
