50 Facts about the La Mesa History Center #42: Publications - Lost California
On October 14, 2023, the La Mesa History Center held a book launch event for "Lost California" by Erik Beck. Lost California is an Arcadia Press book in their Postcard History Series. The postcards in this collection, taken from the John and Jane Adams Postcard Collection at the SDSU Special Collections and Archives, reflect a hidden past of California that exists now only on the page. This event included the author providing a brief presentation about the John and Jane Adams Postcard Collection and some highlighted images. Images from the La Mesa History Center's own collections were also on display for the event. The book is available for purchase, and the LMHC's own postcard collection can be viewed, on Saturdays from 1pm to 4pm in the LMHC Research Archives.
