The Alvarado Archive Collection: The negatives, photographs and other related manuscript material that make up the Ricardo Ocreto Alvarado archive are housed in the Department of Special Collections at the Stanford University Libraries.  A project is underway to digitize all extant negatives; at present the physical collection can be accessed in the Special Collections reading room in Green Library.  A finding aid is available via the Library’s catalog, Searchworks and the Online Archive of California.

Coming in May 2023: A new exhibit featuring the Alvarado archive sponsored by the Department of Special Collections at Stanford University Libraries, with accompanying catalog.
