Take a look inside the August 1874 issue of Godey's Lady's Book, now fully digitized in our collections portal!
Looking at old magazines is a lot of fun, but they can also tell us so much about our society at the time of publication. Looking through this you might think about expected gender norms of the time, think about how current events influenced short fiction stories, or how fashion has evolved over the centuries. What interesting thing did you find while browsing this magazine?

Click on “Explore the Collection” in our bio, and search for Godey’s to pull this one up!

Did you know that the Camron-Stanford House has a long history as a museum space? Before it was the Camron-Stanford House museum that we know today, it was the site of the former Oakland Public Museum. The house’s parlor rooms held a large portion of the city’s anthropology and natural history collections.

Did you ever visit the public museum before it closed in the 1960s? We would love to see your photos or hear your memories!

It’s always so nice to see handwritten notes on the back of photographs, especially when the notes are written by the subject themselves! In this one, Mertie Aldrich, in grade 9 in this photo, reminds us that worrying about one’s looks as a youngster is a tale as old as time. She writes:
“I had a homely nose and was glad to have hair that was often admired!”

Well we think you’re gorgeous, Mertie!

The Camron-Stanford House is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization run by a dedicated group of volunteer board members and docents. We receive no local, state or federal funds for our operations. For more than 45 years we have depended on the generosity of local donors to preserve the house, provide innovative exhibits and educational opportunities, and keep the grand old “Lady of the Lake” open for a new generation.
