The History Center collects, organizes, stores and displays books, maps, pictures, manuscripts, audio visual materials and other printed, handwritten and drawn artifacts pertaining to Mountain View's heritage. Due to the importance of this unique collection, appropriate preservation methods and materials are sought out and utilized. The collection is limited to those materials which deal directly with Mountain View. Since historically the Mountain View community included present day Los Altos and Los Altos Hills, the collection also encompasses the historical aspects of those communities. Materials broader in scope than Mountain View (e.g., Santa Clara County) which include Mountain View as a significant part or which contain unique information about the city are also collected.
