The Local History Index is a tool for researching Sonoma County people, places, organizations and events referenced in books, journals and newspapers found primarily in the Sonoma County History and Genealogy Library. The index records -- created over several decades by volunteers -- include links to the Library's catalog for location and other information. In addition, some newspaper citations can be read in full through the Library's Newspapers.com--University of California, Riverside collection and the California Digital Newspaper Project.
