CALIFORNIA a) State Library, Sacramento "About 10,000 bound volumes of state newspapers, among them complete files of the first newspaper published in California, first in San Francisco, Sacramento, and some of the mining districts. These files are especially valuable, as they are made available to the historian by a newspaper index containing over 2,000,000 cards. There is also an index to California magazines of many thousand entries. Another unusual feature is a collection of California fiction, by California authors, or with a California setting. This collection is preserved for the use of the student of literature and does not circulate. There are also about 2,000 biographical cards of California authors filled out in their own handwriting. These, together with their autograph letters, original manuscripts and photographs, form a valuable source of information.
