The Library's Heritage Room provides a collection of materials on California history with an emphasis on the history of Hemet, the San Jacinto Valley, and Riverside County. This Local History collection also includes photos and newspaper clippings of historical interest to our community.  In addition, we share our Heritage Room with volunteers of the Hemet - San Jancinto Genealogy Society.
