Records on over 100,000 California Indians are now online thanks to the efforts of the Huntington Library.

With $650,000 in grants, the library digitized thousands of records that detail the lives, and deaths, of California Indians during the Spanish mission period. The data comes from 21 Catholic missions and two other sites between 1769 and 1850.

The Early California Population Project focuses on tribal members who lived in the coastal regions of California.
