Online Indexes

The Society creates and maintains a collection of nearly sixty on-line indexes related to the history of Santa Clara. These indexes catalog over 300,00 names.

A comprehensive search feature is not currently available, but each of our indexes can be searched individually. We recommend starting with our Early Settler File, Funeral Home and Cemetery Index or the Early Vitals Index, which are our largest collections.

In addition, the society scans and uploads a great deal of information to archive.org periodically. Currently, the information held there includes 12 City Directories, various historic books, historic inventories, and WPA Writer’s Project stories, with more to come.
