California History Lectures

Take a look at these Bancroft Library (UC Berkeley) lectures. They're one-hour audio lectures about the history of California--seven of them:

  • The California Mission as Symbol and Myth
  • Like America Only More So: The Origins and Power of California's Image
  • Heaven on the Half-shell: Mark Twain in California
  • California's Greatest Thirst: A Glance at the Contentious History of California's Water
  • An Entrepreneurial Genius: Henry J. Kaiser
  • Kick Out the Southern Pacific
  • A Library for California

This is an exceptional collection to supplement any lifelong learner's California history resources.
