Virtual Tour of the Sonoma County Archives at Los Guilicos.

A sneak peek at the Sonoma County Archives, a collection of historical records dating back 150 years. Managed by the Sonoma County Library, the collection is stored in a 3,800 square foot building on the Los Guilicos campus near Kenwood which came close to burning down in both the Nuns Fire (2017) and the Nuns Fire (2020).

Since December 2020, the Advocates for the Sonoma County Archives (ASCA), a volunteer committee, and several others have requested that the Library and the County prioritize the relocation, improved management, and access to this one-of-a-kind resource.
