Petaluma Historical Library & Museum Archive

Welcome to the archive website for the Petaluma Historical Library & Museum where you will find digital images from the museum’s vast collection. The museum houses a large selection of historical photographs, documents, and artifacts. Currently, only a small portion of archival items is represented on the site however we are continuously adding new content as the collection is digitized. You can review the entire archive here or by clicking on the archive tab above. While this website hosts the primary archive collection, an additional site, Petalumapioneers.org, houses the PHL&M’s most comprehensive collection, the “Petaluma Pioneer Portrait Collection”, created as a separate subset of the PHL&M’s main digital archive.

Additionally, we will highlight specific items in our “Featured Collections” section below.
