Town Crier Staff Report

The Los Altos History House Museum is seeking still photos, home movies, maps, yearbooks and phone books from the Los Altos/Los Altos Hills area. Volunteers and staff are currently working to produce a video from home movie clips and other media, which will be featured in the new Education Center at History House.

The video is intended to document the development of the Los Altos-Los Altos Hills community from the turn of the century to the present day. Subject matter for the project will include annual events such as the Festival of Lights and pet parades, ceremonies and dedications of schools.

Pictures of early businesses are needed. Landscapes, housing developments, aerial photos, people in uniform and local archaeological dig sites may be included in the project.

If you have photos or movies that you would like to submit for review, call the History House at 948-9427.
