The rest of the records were acquired through Brother Veronius Henry, F.S.C., 1965. Scope and Content This contains copies of all the obtainable records (1770-1965) of the missions of early California. These records consist mainly of baptismal, marriage, and burial records, often with indices. There are also copies of historical material (Santa Clara Mission), church music (San Juan Bautista Mission), Indians Census Books and clothing distribution to the Indians (San Buenaventura), and account books (San Juan Bautista, Santa Cruz and San Carlos Borromeo Missions). 1. San Antonio de Padua (2 reels) -- 2. San Carlos de Borromeo (2 reels) -- 3. San Francisco de Asís (2 reels) -- 4. San Juan Capistrano (3 reels) -- 5. San Jose de Guadalupe (5 reels) -- 6. San Rafael (4 reels) -- 7. San Miguel (4 reels) -- 8. San Luis Rey (1 reel) -- 9. Santa Cruz (1 reel) -- 10. San Francisco Solano (1 reel) -- 11. Santa Clara (3 reels) -- 12.

(1 reel) -- FAC 759 (mix of items from more than one mission). It has been impossible to obtain records of all the missions. Because of fire, earthquakes, and problems of secularization there has been a loss of records for certain periods at various missions. Most of these records are now available through the Family Center of the Church of Latter Day Saints. FAC 759: 2, 4 is missing and may not have been made or it never came to the Huntington as it contains the exact information as two other reels. At some point there may have been reels 20 and 21 containing second source material on the missions and material about Soledad, but those reels are no longer present. Part 18 (San Gabriel) formerly cataloged as MSS MFilm 00439 and MSS MFilm 00440; these call numbers have now been cancelled.
