Local History Digital Resource Project
This collection of photographs, slides, postcards, and picture clippings documents the history of the City of Monterey Park and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley. These photographs were collected over the years by the Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library and the Monterey Park Historical Society. The collection tells the story of the establishment of Monterey Park as a city in 1916, the emergence of business and industry, and documents some of the well-known historical faces of Monterey Park. Because the library has digitized this collection of images, anyone with access to the Internet can view these images without risking damage to the photographic originals.
California of the Past Digital Storytelling Project
This collection of 24 digital stories documents the experiences of people coming to and living in Monterey Park and in California. The stories feature the three topics people, places, and events. Highlights include stories about local theatre 
productions and plays, family stories about immigrating to the United States and to Monterey Park, stories from local artists and authors, the establishment of East Los Angeles Community College, and general experiences in the community. Anyone with access to the Internet can watch this collection of digital stories. Digital stories were recorded in the Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library and in the local community. Storytellers contributed photographs and videos from their personal collections to create these miniature two-to-five-minute films highlighting their experiences.
California Revealed Oral History Program
Funded by a grant from the California State Library in 1990, the California Revealed Oral History Program documents the stories of long-time residents and past Mayors of Monterey Park.
