Traveling Trunks
Make your classroom come to life with primary source documents and reproductions of items from the Historical Association’s archives. There are three thematic trunks available.

Ohlone
Grind acorns with a mortar and pestle, feel animal skins, and play a game of chance. The trunk includes maps, photographs, music, a video, and resource books.

Gold! 1848 – 1849
Strike it rich! Explore the gold fields through the journal of W.D.M. Howard, a San Mateo County resident. The “Miner’s Backpack” also includes gold pans, newspapers, letters, and photographs.

Turn of the Century, c. 1900
Use an iron, wear a paper collar, and make your own stereoviews for the stereoscope. The suitcase features photographs, newspapers, and journal reproductions.
