Approximately twenty-five (25) linear feet of archival materials were transferred to San Diego State University in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. These materials are housed in the Special Collections & University Archives section of the University Library and are open for research.

The collections housed at the SDSU Library include: Lemon Grove Chamber of Commerce Records (1922-1975), Lemon Grove Congregational Church Records (from 1894), Lemon Grove Coordinating Council Records (1959-1963), Lemon Grove Fruit Growers Association Records (1908-1935), Lemon Grove Historical Society Formation Records (1978-79)

The Society seeks to expand its holdings and welcomes donations of historical interest. Help us save the past.  See our Donate to the Collection  page for more information.
