This collage shows four different California missions. In the upper left-hand corner is a circa 1900 photograph of Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, founded in 1772 in what is now the downtown area of the City of San Luis Obispo. This is one of the few missions that still stands on its original site, never having been forced to move due to insufficient water or poor soil.

On the upper right is seen Mission San Juan Bautista, founded in 1797 and located in present-day San Benito County. The long, low-arched colonnade at the front is a feature often seen in mission architecture.

At lower right appears Mission San José (in the City of San Jose), also founded in 1797. Located in a region with particularly rich soil, this mission not only produced more agricultural products than almost any other, it also diversified its crops to include olive and fruit tree orchards as well as a vineyard. Fire destroyed the original church building in 1868. The photograph shows the building as restored in 1985-1986.

The final image at bottom left, a postcard from the early twentieth century, depicts Mission Santa Cruz, founded in 1791 in present-day Santa Cruz. An 1857 earthquake destroyed much of the first mission church. The structure currently standing at this site is a one-third-size replica of the original building.
September 8, 2017 - SACRAMENTO – The California State Archives has launched its latest online exhibit: “California's Missions: Decline and Revival.” This exhibit is part of a newly launched collection by Google Arts and Culture tracing the history of Latino cultures

“While the California missions remain some of our state's most iconic landmarks, their legacy in the destruction of native cultures during European settlement must also be recognized,” Secretary of State Alex Padilla said. “The State Archives’ exhibit examines both the significance that the mission system played in shaping California, as well as the harsh realities of the indigenous people forced to live and work in the missions. Utilizing historical images and artifacts from the State Archives, we can better understand our state’s past.” 

The exhibit uses rare photos, sketches, art, and historical accounts to trace the rise of the Missions, their decline during Mexican independence, and the restoration of these historic buildings during the late 19th and 20th centuries. Many of the images and items featured in the exhibit are over a hundred years old. 

This is the State Archives’ eleventh online exhibit to be hosted by Google Arts & Culture.  Secretary Padilla has made digitizing the treasurers of the State Archives a priority.
