Noticias del Puerto de Monterey
The below quote from the first issue of the Noticias del Puerto de Monterey sets the intention of the Monterey and Art Association in production of a quarterly newsletter focused on Monterey history. Publication began in 1957 and continued until the last volume was published in 2008. Over the course of the years, publication as a quarterly became irregular, sometimes only one or two issues in some years, and after a one-year gap in 2007 a final very large 50th anniversary commemorative issue was published. Noticias articles generally address people, places, and events in and around Monterey. The articles were researched and written by local historians and/or topic-knowledgeable members of the Association. The MHOD Library holdings include a complete set of the Noticias. Our online collection has been scanned and is available as searchable pdf’s, there are a few issues missing from the online collection. Also, at MHOD and online is an Index for years 1968 through 2000 and a Table of Contents for years 1957 through 2000.
“Since its founding in 1931, the Association has had as its primary objective the preservation of those reminders of historic Monterey: the old adobe homes and significant buildings of the early days of Spanish, Mexican and American California. The Association has also obtained through purchase and loan numerous articles for exhibition in public museums such as the old Customs House, the Stevenson House, and Colton Hall. It has taken an active part in impressing on the people of Monterey the inestimable value of the City's place in history, the uniqueness of their heritage, and the importance of retaining for succeeding generations of Californians, adopted or native-born, those irreplaceable relics of a bygone age which embody the state's romantic story.
However, there is a feeling that the Association has another obligation: the encouragement of general interest in local history through the publication of articles covering Monterey's colorful four hundred years as the "cradle of California history." Furthermore, the decisions of the Board of Directors, the calendar of coming events, and news of important acquisitions need wider circulation among the members. For these reasons the Board has sponsored this quarterly.
The editors propose to make the Noticias del Puerto de Monterey not only an item of interest for local members, but a genuine contribution to the history of California by including in each issue an article drawn from hitherto unpublished primary historical sources.”
