Other units of the Correspondence Course cover California sources for statistics and directories of public officials. Those sources won't be discussed here, but there will be some review questions requiring their use at the end of this unit. At the beginning of each section, you should note your library's call numbers for reference copies of the tools, along with an indication of whether your library has copies available for circulation. This will be useful for future reference. This contains narrative descriptions of all California landmarks, both State and Federal, as well as other historical sites.
Descriptions range from a few paragraphs up to one or two pages for major areas.
The arrangement is by county, with a brief historical sketch of the county, a bibliography for each county and an index. At present, there have been four revisions. The most recent is 1990. Earlier editions are still valuable, so if you have later editions in your reference collection you may want to circulate older copies. This contains biographies of about l00 of the major figures of California history.
