Whaley Family Special Library Collection

The Whaley Family/SOHO collection documents San Diego's business life, politics and government affairs, weather, indigenous peoples, townspeople, and the rivalry between Old Town and New Town, as well as the personal correspondence, notebooks, photos and journals of Thomas and Anna Whaley, and their family.

A treasure trove of history, both about the Whaley House, the family and early San Diego: over 13,000 letters, as well as nineteenth century theater programs, invitations, notebooks and ledgers, journals, invoices, books, advertising handbills, and photographs exist.

Through the generosity of the Whaley family, historians, scholars, and history enthusiasts we are able to view these papers online.

We hope that you will find the collection as fascinating and educational as we do.
