Faye Ellis: San Lorenzo Valley Research

Faye Ellis moved to the San Lorenzo Valley in 1974, and started collecting a wealth of information on the history of this part of Santa Cruz County. Her research materials, covering the period from the 1840’s to the 1940’s, include interviews, photographs, biographies, family history charts, newspaper clippings, facts about businesses and buildings, and ephemera (newsletters, brochures, maps, etc.).

The collection consists of about 450 folders in a file cabinet and over 1500 4x6 index cards. When she moved away she donated her files to the Santa Cruz Public Libraries.


Access & Use: The files of Faye Ellis are open for research use. Appointments to view the collection can be made by contacting the library. Permission to publish materials must be requested from the Santa Cruz Public Libraries. Researchers are responsible for determining any copyright questions.
