About Virtual Exhibits
In these exhibits we try to showcase the breadth of our collections under subjects in alphabetical order. We try to exhibit all items representing the subject within reasonable numbers. Thus we might omit less important items and/or you may find the same items represented under more than one subject. These exhibits in closely related printed forms are available for you to see at the Stinson Beach Library as volumes of SBHS Index Books.
As you view the Virtual Exhibit note the accession numbers with A representing Archive Collections, L representing Library Collections, OB represent Object Collections and Photographic Collections have no letter attached.
If you find any omissions and/or errors, please let us know.
