Snapshots of an era / Bowen, Jerry [733] [WAYITWAS-2007-733]
Among the collections at the Vacaville Heritage Council and the Solano County Genealogy Society at the Old Town Hall on East Main Street are yearbooks from Solano County Schools dating back as far as the late 1890s. These publications are a treasure that help historians gain some insight into past attitudes, styles of dress, and pride in school and community and to perhaps learn something valuable from the "good old days."

Helping to preserve Solano County's yore / Bowen, Jerry [496] [WAYITWAS-2004-496]
How the past is used or abused can have an important bearing on how a community or county perceives itself. Preservation and promotion of a county's collective past is a logical goal for any self-respecting people. Indeed, pride in the past is seeing resurgence lately as more and more of our precious history is bulldozed under for redevelopment. It takes dedicated people who aren't afraid to work hard in order to set aside some of our precious history in Solano County for future generations.

Memories of the Fairfield area / Bowen, Jerry [198] [WAYITWAS-2004-198]
Memoirs often provide valuable insight about the past that may seem of little importance when an individual first writes them. Today, with the last remains of the old company town of Cement rapidly disappearing under the onslaught of new development, a way of life is also being relegated to the dusty archives of history to be remembered only in the minds of a few old-timers and people who enjoy learning about the past.

Bert Hughes: historian, family man, community treasure / Dingler, Nancy [475] [RETROSPECT-2002-475]
This is going to be a very personal column today - a tribute to Bert Hughes, who recently passed away. Bertram Augustus Hughes was a true Renaissance man and will be greatly missed by local historians. If any one person could leave a deep void in the community, Bert's departure has done that.
