Library Special Collections Cal Poly Humboldt Library Special Collections is the premier research center for the study of the primary industries, Native peoples, and natural resources of northwestern California. Researchers visit from around the world to see original maps, photographs, diaries, and manuscript collections documenting this unique region. One of the collection strengths is the history of Northern California lumber industries and the history of Redwood National Park. As part of Redwood National Park's 50th anniversary (2018), HSU Special Collections developed an internship program in partnership with the Redwood National Park to make collections related to the redwoods more available to the public. Eighteen Library Interns worked together to create a database of digitized material and digital exhibits to highlight the collections, research and history of Redwood National Park. The digital collection “Researching the Redwoods” is now available to the public.
