California History Center
 The recipient of numerous awards and honors,
the California History Center is an active focal point for California
history studies and has been recognized as an "outstanding educational
facility" by the State of California. Emphasizing living history,
the center provides students with a unique opportunity to "encounter
the historic site, document, or experienced individual, and personally
interpret and recreate a period in history."
Housed in the reconstructed le Petit Trianon, a national registered landmark
located on the De Anza campus, the center offers credit classes, changing
exhibits, a video documentation program and publishes at least one major
book each year. Students can participate in all of these activities.
Additionally, the center's Stocklmeir Library houses a growing collection
of materials on California history and on almost every aspect of Santa
Clara Valley's development, including student research papers, books,
journals, oral history on video and audio tape, photographs, manuscripts,
newsletters, clippings and pamphlets.
