In 2018, NCHS partnered with women who had been involved with the Women’s movement in Napa from the 1970s to 1990s to create a book, A Rumbling of Women: Napa Feminists 1970-1990. This virtual exhibit features chapter recordings from ten of the twenty-six contributors.

Winemaking is an economic juggernaut of the Napa Valley. Thanks to climate, soil and winemaker expertise, the Valley produces world renowned wines. We do not know if the Valley’s first people cultivated grapes, but we know that one of the first crops George Yount planted in 1836 was a personal vineyard.
Historic Napa was founded at the advent of photography and thus is well documented visually. Many iconic landmarks have withstood the test of time while others have sadly vanished. Luckily all have been captured by photography and so their memory remains.

Napa county is a rich tapestry of stories. It takes many voices and various perspectives to capture all the stories about different places, people, livelihoods, leisure activities, and politics. NCHS partnered with Arcadia Publishing and Valley organizations to highlight the stories that have been told, and shine a light on the stories that still need telling.
Aerial photography was the primary photography used by Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) conservation planners, soil scientists, and other natural resource specialists in the agency. Conservation planners used the aerial photos to inventory farm, ranch, and forestlands of producers working with NRCS to complete a conservation plan.
