JACK DEMPSEY 1914 - DEMPSEY AND BUSTER KEATON 1928

CHERISHING OUR VALLEY      2012

The task of identifying artifacts and photographs given to The Museum of the San Fernando Valley will always be a significant part of our Community's responsibility.  How and where do objects fit into the history of our valley?  

Here are three photographs recently added to The Museum's archives, yet to be fully vetted. Become a Museum sleuth today.  Volunteer and join The Museum of the San Fernando Valley Associates. Call 1 (818) 347-9665 and you'll be invited to the Associates' upcoming meetings.
