The California Folklore Digital Collection features 42 volumes from the California Folklore Miscellany Collection. These volumes document various aspects of North Bay history, with a focus on beliefs, customs & folkways; place names & folk speech; historical characters, outlaws, miners & lumbermen; legends, tales & anecdotes; pioneer stories & personal reminiscences; and children’s lore & folklore in the schools. The majority of the materials were gathered or created by Dr. Hector Lee’s students in the American and California folklore classes at Sonoma State University.
