The #ImmigrantGenSoc library is unique for Southern California, located now for years in Burbank. It’s smaller now because we downsized as we changed our mission. For example, our #FamilyHistory section of our #genealogy collection also downsized as we donated to other libraries books which were only based in American ancestry, possibly with a vague reference to Germanic origins. Those which remain place Germanic ancestors within the context of a specific place; some are wholly “German.” 3/7
