Ripon Pedrick Genealogy Notebooks
During his lifetime, Samuel Pedrick, a prominent Ripon figure, lawyer and local historian, compiled genealogical information and family histories into numerous notebooks. In 2006, the Ripon Public Library completed a restoration project in which the entirety of the Pedrick genealogical notebooks was digitized and indexed.
Ripon Yearbooks
As part of its local history collection, the Ripon Public Library has digitized volumes of “The Tiger,” the yearbook of the Ripon Senior High School, covering most of the years from 1917-1940.
