The Friends of the Pioneer Room

The Friends of the Pioneer Room is a non-profit organization that supports the Escondido Public Library's local history collection through organized fundraising projects such as the sale of the Pioneer Room Calendar each year.  Other recent projects include:

• The purchase of a microreader for the Pioneer Room.
• Funding for an oral history tape.
• Providing funds to hire a student to upgrade the Pioneer Room webpage.
• Authorizing the transfer of a Rube Nelson video interview to current technology.
• The purchase of the 1880 census CD.

Support the Friends by becoming a member or donating your personal photographs of Escondido local history.  Desirable photographs would include shots of fashion, surroundings, and buildings of different eras.
