Los Gatos Library

The Los Gatos Local History Research Collection was started as a collaborative effort between Los Gatos Library and The Museums of Los Gatos, with collections of the two institutions forming the core of the project. Included are many general collections such as Views, Residences, and Town Life, as well as many collections contributed by individuals, families, and organizations who have generously shared their photo archives in order to preserve and make accessible the cultural memory of the town. Well over 100 individuals and 30 companies, organizations, clubs and associations have contributed funding, equipment, time and historic images to The Library and Museum History Project. Collections are primarily composed of photographs, but also include maps, letters, postcards, scrapbooks, programs from events, audio recordings, videos and other materials of historic interest.
