The King Library Digital Collections represent rare and unique materials held by San Jose State University Special Collections and the San Jose Public Library's California Room. The collections document
the history of the Santa Clara Valley from its agricultural beginnings
to the high-tech boom and formation of the Silicon Valley.
The range of subjects covered include local politics, social and
cultural traditions, education, local business and industry, and
historical events. This digital library will stimulate discovery of
the rich and diverse resources of the library and will promote new
scholarship from our community.
Though we have thousands of historic photographs in our collections, only a fraction were originally identified and dated. Research is ongoing to include the most accurate information with our images. Can you help identify or date any of these photographs? Take a look at this collection of
Mystery Historic Photographs, and use the "
Tell us about this item" link at the top of each page to share with us what you may know about these images!
