Mariana- The Ventura County Museum of History & Art (Ventura, Calif.) is a local museum that also houses a research library with a large collection of historical photos, maps, manuscripts, books, and etc. Currently, the Library has shorter hours than the Museum, and has a lockable gate in the Museum lobby to close it off from visitors during special museum programs. In the near future we will be starting a capital campaign to raise funds for a new building, which will house (in separate areas) both the Library collection and the rest of the Museum's collection. We have always had both Museum and Library in the same building, and wouldn't have it any other way. Contact me off-list if you want more info. Kathy Henri Collections Mgr.
