We’re excited to announce the addition of two digital collections available for research and study.

Allison V. Armour Expedition to Yucatán, Mexico Photograph Album

This collection showcases the 1895 research expedition led by curators from the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. The photo album captures views of Mayan ruins, with additional photographs of local scenery and the expedition group.

Explore the collection on Calisphere.

Pico Rivera News (UCR Access Only)

Dive into LA County history with the Pico Rivera News, a newspaper chronicling life in Pico Rivera, California and the surrounding area in 1931 and 1932. While mostly in English, some issues do feature a page of news in Spanish. This archive is a valuable resource for members of the UCR community researching journalism, Southern California history, and even Hispanic culture.

Access the collection through UC Library Search.

These new digital collections highlight our commitment to preserving and providing access to historical resources. We invite you to explore these collections and unlock stories from the past!
