Arata family collection

Manuscripts

The material in this collection was created and collected by the Arata family, especially María Antonia Jimeno de Arata. It consists of books, maps, papers, photographs, and printed ephemera. The papers include writings and poetry, possibly written by María Antonia Jimeno de Arata. There are booklets, pamphlets, and photographs related to Santa Barbara, California and the 1925 Santa Barbara earthquake. There are also numerous pamphlets related to the United States National Forest Service and National Park Service in California. The scrapbook mostly contains postcards acquired by the family's travel on the Panama Pacific Line and images from the 1925 Santa Barbara earthquake. Note: Some of the postcards in the scrapbook are loose. The two books in this collection are "La Mujer Catolica" and "Southern California" issued by Southern California Panama Exposition Commission. There are two oversize folders at the end of the collection. The first folder consists of three photographs, possibly of María Antonia Jimeno de Arata and another woman. The second folder is a trigonometric survey entitled "Entrance to San Francisco Bay" by A.D. Bache.
