Summer Volunteers are Coming! RSFHS is delighted to welcome two amazing teen/parent volunteer groups over the summer to help expedite the digitization of our archives. This summer we will host local chapters of Teen Volunteers in Action and National Charity League, organizations that promote and participate in local philanthropy projects. Students and parents will be onsite every Tuesday and Thursday morning working hard to help us with our digitization project. RSFHS Wish List Not everyone can help digitize the archives, but you can help the helpers. Check out the RSFHS Amazon Wish List for some much needed archive-related office supplies and snacks for our teen volunteers. We are happy to provide documentation for your generous donations. From the Archives . . . The Convenant: History in the Making Encompassing approximately 10 square miles, the Convenant is home to about 4,300 residents. The Covenant was designed to ensure the continuation of basic restrictions and conditions regulating development in the community of Rancho Santa Fe, giving the Ranch its signature aesthetic. - Rancho Santa Fe Progress, Feb. 1928

What's been going on at RSFHS? Over the past month we've been assessing our archival collections to prioritize and preserve some of our more fragile items. We've also been getting tasks prepped for our volunteer staff so they can digitize and catalog as much as possible. We will be purchasing a new high-speed scanner to assist with the project thanks to generous grants from Rancho Santa Fe Foundation and San Diego County. Don't forget to reserve your ticket or table now for our Roaring 20’s Gala featuring live music, dancing, Speakeasy and a secret "Lilian" cocktail. Cocktails begin at 6:00pm and dinner starts at 7:00pm. Tickets are $250 per person. There are only 350 seats available, so click here to reserve yours early.
