The Coronado Public Library has digitized over two hundred historical images and is providing background information on each image. The Local History Digital Resources Project began with a grant from the Library Services and Technology Act through the California State Library. The images selected and viewable on the web include: photographs of the Alfredo Ramos Martinez Murals restoration and installation project; early scenes of the U. S. Navy and naval aviation at North Island; Coronado public school buildings; the Coronado Public Library; Coronado fire engines and trucks; the former Coronado ferry boats; and maps and charts of the San Diego Bay, Coronado, and Southern California.

California Revealed from Coronado Public Library
California Revealed is a State Library initiative to help California’s public libraries, in partnership with other local heritage groups, digitize, preserve, and provide online access to archival materials - books, newspapers, photographs, audiovisual recordings, and more - that tell the incredible stories of the Golden State. We also provide free access and preservation services for existing digital collections for partner organizations with in-house digitization programs. California Revealed is supported by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian.
