About Sourisseau Academy for State and Local History

The mission of the Sourisseau Academy is to promote local history through sponsoring research, educational programs, and publications. We are actively engaged in the rescue of endangered archival documents and act as a clearing house for the placement of archival collections in appropriate repositories. The Academy maintains an extensive photograph collection and historical ephemera relating primarily to the history of Santa Clara County and the central coast region of California. The Academy staff, who are also historians, are able to provide research assistance to our archives as well as being knowledgeable about regional history.
