The Huntington Library

Early California Population Project database: contains baptism, marriage, and burial records of each of the California missions dating 1769-1850. Provides public access to all the information contained in California's historic mission registers, records that are of unique and vital importance to the study of California, the American Southwest, and colonial America. Requires free account registration for access. "The original registers are scattered across California and too old and too brittle to handle. Microfilm copies of the registers exist in archives but are of poor quality and often hard to locate."
