For those of you who enjoy such things:

The library of the University of the Pacific has some fantastic
digitized items from their special collections. In particular, I'd
like to point out their large collection of John Muir's journals and
sketches and photographs of Muir. Having looked through a small
portion of what they have made available, there is some fascinating
stuff. I looked through his notes from his stay in the Toulomne
meadows area of Yosemite, page after page of his notes and sketches.

In addition, they have a collection of Dave Brubeck items (oral
histories and photographs) and a very interesting collection of
primary materials relating to the WWII era Japanese-American
internment camps.

So if you are so inclined and have some time to spare, here is the
link.

Excellent, good stuff!
I was just looking over the Japanese-American interment camp collections.
Interesting letters and stories.
My Dad was put in Manzanar (CA) and my Mom was located to the Heart
Mountain (WY) relocation center during the war. They were teenagers at the
time so it was a lot of fun to them, but my grandparents too it pretty hard.

Big fan of Brubeck, I'll have to look over his section when I have more
time.

Also spent a lot of time in Yosemite and the Muir trails, sounds like an
interesting read of his journals.
