The Sonoma County Library, through its Sonoma Heritage Collections, seeks out, acquires and makes digitally accessible, materials in all formats to illuminate Sonoma County history and culture. The Sonoma Heritage Collection builds on the extensive collection of historical photographs gathered in the the Library's History & Genealogy Library, Petaluma History Room and Sonoma County Wine Library, as well as archival collections located in the Sonoma County Archives. We have collaborated with a number of Sonoma County organizations including the Sonoma Valley Historical Society, the Western Sonoma County Historical Society and the Sonoma County Fair to broaden our offerings. The Sonoma Heritage Collections includes a number of current and planned, unique collections ranging from historical photographs to Sonoma County wine labels, and from architectural drawings to winemaker oral histories.
