We are excited to be part of the centennial commemoration coming up this year in June! There will be an event put together by EQ25 at the end of June! SBCGS will have a table at this event plus have our own display at Sahyun Library that will be open to the public.
Did your family live in Santa Barbara during the 1925 earthquake, or maybe you know of a family who lived here during this time? If so, we would like to hear from you! Maybe you have a diary with written accounts or remember stories your parents or other family members told. We would like to share these recollections during the centennial commemoration in 2025.
Please contact Outreach@sbgen.org if you have anything to contribute or can put us in touch with someone whose family lived in Santa Barbara in 1925. We are accepting family stories about the earthquake and/or the aftermath and high-resolution scanned photographs until April 20. Thank you to all who have participated so far!
