Last year, the library received a grant and equipment to film and record oral histories for the California of the Past Project. We have focused on life in Benicia. The orals histories are uploaded onto the internet at blip.tv.

Make sure YOUR piece of Benicia or California history is recorded for future generations.  Stories of early Benicia, about discovering this town as a wonderful place to live, or highlighting special events through time.  If you are interested in participating by telling a story of an event in your life in Benicia or sharing your photographs for other stories, see the attached application below.
