SEX, DRUNKS AND ALLEGED INSANITY Humboldt County Historical Society research assistant Morgan Harvey pres-
ents “’Sex, Drunks and Alleged Insanity’: Interpreting Historical Criminal Records” at the Humboldt County Historical
Society program meeting on Saturday, Sept. 8 at 1 p.m., in the first-floor conference room of the Humboldt County
Library, 1313 Third St., Eureka. Admission is free, and everyone is invited. Humboldt County Historical Society re-
search assistant Morgan Harvey will describe the collection of Humboldt County Jail register books (1888 - 1949) she
has been working with since March. She will show how data from this collection invites researchers to position local
historical narrative within a more clearly defined context. Harvey has been transforming the historic criminal records
into a keyword-searchable digital resource with support from the Tracy Memorial Trust, a fund of the Humboldt Area
Foundation. Join Harvey for a demonstration of how data transferred from historical records may be interpreted, and
how this data may be applied to larger research questions about race, class and gender. For more information contact
the Humboldt County Historical Society at (707) 445-4342, or visit humboldthistory.org/.
