Orange County Heritage Coordinating Council

I just stumbled upon the Orange County Public Library's historical images collection today.

It looks like the collection was launched back in June, and it currently consists of just under 1,100 digitized images from various Orange County historical organizations.

The 2009 Images of Orange County calendar is available for sale by the Orange County Mexican American Historical Society (OCMAHS).

Calendars may be purchased for $10 plus shipping/handling (or in person at Calacas in Santa Ana), but are included with a $15 annual membership to OCMAHS.

To place an order send your address and check/money order to:

OCMAHS Calendar
C/O Susan Luévano,
449 W. Jacaranda Place
Fullerton, CA 92832-1436

A note to all OCHCC site members who post content...

I've added functionality to support marking calendar entries as recurring events (weekly, monthly, yearly, etc.). This will help by not forcing you to enter each individual entry as a separate event.

Note the "Repeat" option under the Start and End dates in the submission form.

However (there's always a catch!), there's a bit of a glitch. In order to access the "Repeat" field and menu, the handy dandy HTML text editor has to be turned off, and then turned back on so that all our non-HTML-programmer members can still use the text editor.

Don't miss out on the slide show presentation this Saturday, November 15th, at the Katie Wheeler branch lilbrary, featuring photographs from the Irvine Family Archive. Get more information...

I received the following email of interest on Wednesday, from an HCC colleage:
 
Dear HCC members,
 

An article in posted by the Los Angeles Times today cites a neurologist who believes that Pio Pico, governor of pre-statehood California during the 1830s and 1840s, may have been afflicated by a neurological disorder that distorted his physical features and made him impotent for much of his life.
