Tours of the California State Archives

The Stacks at the California State Archives

The ever-popular mini-tours of the California State Archives will be offered again at Family History Day.  State Archives staff will be your tour guide, taking you behind-the-scenes of the California State Archives facility rarely seen by the public.  You'll get a first-hand look at the stacks area, security vaults, processing area, preservation and microfilm labs.

In addition, you will see the current exhibit in the Archives Gallery which is located on the 4th floor. Tours are limited to twenty guests only, and will last forty-five minutes.  Sign-up at the 4th floor reception desk for one of several tours available throughout Family History Day.
