共 The Care and Use of the County Archives of California, by Owen C. Coy, offers a detailed guide to the management and preservation of invaluable historical records. This essential reference delves into the roles and responsibilities of the county clerk, the organization of the court of sessions, and the significance of documents related to marriage, census data, and probate court proceedings.
Coy meticulously covers a range of archival materials, including affidavits, board of supervisors’ records, and documents from the alcalde period. With specific references to counties such as Humboldt and Monterey, and legislation like the Civil Code, this work provides a comprehensive overview of archival practices in early California. This book serves as an important resource for historians, archivists, and anyone interested in preserving California’s rich documentary heritage.
