Mammoth Cactus in San Fernando c 1895 - Gift to the Archives of The Museum of the San Fernando Valley July 2009 from Dave High Water rationing is nothing new to the San Fernando Valley. Conservation of water was a way of life to the early pioneer families who settled here in the late 1800s. This delightful photograph, part of the David High Collection, marked in pencil :"Mammouth" Cactus - San Fernando.
Fred Berk (Librarian of The Museum) and Guy Weddington McCreary have began their study of the High Collection photographs, and Fred reports, "Many of the unmarked photos have been identified already."

The San Fernando Valley, in the heart of the Creative Capital of the World, deserves a great Museum of history and culture.
