An account of the resource
An index to newspaper and periodical articles from a variety of Santa Cruz publications.
It is a collection of over 87,000 articles, primarily from the <em>Santa Cruz Sentinel</em>, that have been clipped and filed in subject folders. While these articles of local interest range in date from the early 1900's to the present, most of the collection and clipped articles are after roughly 1960. There is an ongoing project to scan the complete articles and include them in this collection.<br /><br />Also included are more than 350 full-text local newspaper articles on films and movie-making and on the Japanese-American internment.<br /><br /> In addition, this is an online index for births, deaths, and personal names from <em>The Mountain Echo.</em> The complete print index is available at the library. For more information see <a href="https://history.santacruzpl.org/omeka/items/show/134957#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=0">The Mountain Echo</a>.

History of the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium
By City of Santa Cruz
The construction of the Civic Auditorium can be traced to a civic improvement campaign that was initiated in Santa Cruz
during the mid-1930s by the then Mayor, C.D. Hinkle. Construction on the Auditorium wasn’t completed until the early
months of 1940, but the need for such a building had been prevalent for many years. The Auditorium was built as part of
an improvement campaign that also included the building of a new City Hall and a Fire Station in the late 1930s.
The over-all cost of constructing the Auditorium was slightly over $200,000. Of this amount, the Public Works
Administration allotted $121,295.
Two men who played a key role in getting the Auditorium built were Mayor Hinkle and State Senator, Mr. H.R. Judah.
Both of these men worked endlessly for the passage of a bond issue that would appropriate the funds needed to
construct the Auditorium. The bond issue was passed on September 20, 1938 by a three to one margin and less than
two years later, the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium became a reality.
The Auditorium was built in such a manner that it became one of the more effective multi-purpose facilities in central
and northern California. Permanent seating for almost 1200 spectators was provided in a stadium-like effect around the
main floor. Additional moveable seats could also be set up on the main floor.
The Auditorium stage was built at dimensions that would provide an abundance of room for any kind of dramatic
productions.
The first Manager of the Civic Auditorium was the previously mentioned H.R. Judah. Being the first Auditorium Manager
meant the Mr. Judah would have to face an endless array of initial event scheduling problems and these problems were
solved only because of Mr. Judah’s endless dedication to his job.
Throughout the years, the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium has been the home for such events as the Miss California Beauty
Pageant and for concerts of the Santa Cruz Civic Symphony. The Auditorium has been used by the local schools for their
basketball games. Numerous service groups have held their State Conventions in the Civic Auditorium at one time or
another. The Auditorium has also been the hope of the Santa Cruz Chamber of Commerce.
One of the more pleasing additions to the Auditorium took place in late 1963, when the electronic Carillon was installed
in the Parks and Recreation Department office in the Civic Auditorium. The Carillon was donated to the City by Mr. and
Mrs. Harold C. Timberlake of Las Vegas as a memorial to Mr. and Mrs. Smith N. Tiffany, long time Santa Cruz residents.
The Carillon can be played by a keyboard inside the Auditorium or by a tape which electronically operates the Carillon.
The music is amplified and beamed out over the downtown area by loudspeakers atop the Auditorium. The music is
played each day at noon and at five in the afternoon. Mrs. Sylvia McDonough, Santa Cruz organist, plays the Carillon and
she also spends endless hours editing musical scores that are later played on the Carillon.

�In the last few years, numerous improvements have been made in and around the Civic Auditorium. There has been a
vast number of improvements in the equipment used for stage productions. Seating in the auditorium has been
refurbished. In fact, the materials used in the refurbishing the seating are identical to those used in each seat at the
world famous Astrodome.
The current Manager of the Civic Auditorium is Mr. J. Newell Maddock. The Auditorium is only one of Mr. Maddock’s
many responsibilities, for he is responsible for every public building in Santa Cruz. This includes such facilities as the new
City Hall annex and the new Public Library.
Presently, the Civic Auditorium has events scheduled on one hundred days a year, but this doesn’t include numerous
days where rehearsals and practices are scheduled. It can readily be seen that the demand for current Auditorium use is
high.
One proposal that might affect the future of the Auditorium is the current plan to construct a Convention Center in
Santa Cruz. The presence of a Convention Center in Santa Cruz might cause an even greater demand for the use of
indoor arena type facilities. This demand will also probably cause an even greater use of Civic Auditorium facilities. The
building has given such vital services throughout the years that it will probably continue to be one of the most valuable
facilities for the people of Santa Cruz in future years.
