Edit with VisualEditor

Our goal is to make sure there is a reasonable Wikipedia article and Commons category for every library, public gallery, museum, and archive on the West Coast. To do this we need information published in reliable sources: newspaper clippings, radio interviews, magazine articles, and so on. If you can help, let us know!

Museums and archives are important both as buildings and as collections, particularly of public-domain photographs
