October 8, 1959 - Guard the City’s Archives

What do you think is particularly important to protect in case of war? Precious artworks, ancient books? From this article published in the San Diego Evening Tribune on October 8, 1959, under the shadow of the war at that time, the city hoped to build a repository for its vital records in an outlying area of the county. This plan was not chosen, but a disaster plan has been implemented to protect the City’s Archives. We are a small but mighty team dedicated to protecting San Diego’s history since 1850!
