Founded in 2008, the Friends of California Archives celebrates the Golden State’s history through the preservation of important source material.

Through statewide events like California’s Archives Month, the Friends help bring greater awareness to the rich vein of human experience captured in the State Archives.

From Mexican land grants to photographs, trademarks, voting records, gubernatorial papers, legislative documents, business licenses, military records and court rulings, the archives offers a treasure for genealogists, researchers, historians and Californians eager to learn about their state from the source.
