We're back with Day 3 of the Sacramento Archives Crawl. With an eye on better understanding the fight for racial equality in California, the California State Library's California History Section takes us on a journey through the various formats within the Jeremiah Burke Sanderson Collection. We also see photographic documentation of the Old City Cemetery Committee's dedicated efforts to raise $35,000 for the restoration of various headstones in Sacramento's beloved-by-many Old City Cemetery. Finally, brought to us by the Placer County Museums Division, learn about the gritty (and, of course, perseverant) town of Iowa Hill.
The Sacramento Archives Crawl is an Archives Month event held every October. Crawlers tour among four host archives in Sacramento, gathering stamps in their passports as they view treasures from dozens of archives and special collections libraries, visit with archivists, and go on special behind-the-scenes tours. The 2024 Crawl will be held on Saturday, October 5, from 10 am to 4 pm at the Central Library, State Library, State Archives, and Center for Sacramento to History.
