Happy #nationaltrailsday ! Here's a photo from 1906 featuring a man atop a mule while traveling Mt. Wilson. Do you have a local trail you love to walk?

Check out these then and now photos of our Mission Walkway. The top picture is from 1925 and features Thomas Temple!

Congratulations to those graduating this term!

We're joining the Archive Babies hashtag today with a couple of photos from our collection!
