Statistics, Demographic, Economic, etc.
The best print source for current county statistics is Health Data Summaries (HA 261 H43) in the Reference Collection on the first floor; see also Population History Maps of California Places 1770-2000 (ref HB 3525 C2 B471). In the Humboldt Room check the Humboldt County Economic and Demographic Almanac (HC 107 C22 H834). The HSU Analytic Studies webpage provides figures for HSU and the Index of Economic Activity is great for Humboldt County. The Humboldt County Community Development Services Department has an extensive demographics page. Many print as well as web statistical sources are included in Research Guides: Statistics: Environment, Energy & Health.

Theses
Search for HSU masters theses by author, subject, or department in the Library's catalog, Catalyst. The subject heading for a department search is Humboldt State University theses (department). Note that there are two copies of all theses: one is in the Archives (Humboldt Room) and it may not be checked out. The other copy is normally located in the main collection and may be checked out.

College yearbooks were published for selected years as follows: 1927 Cabrillo; 1938-1966 Sempervirens; 1977-1978 The Lamp; 1982-1985 Yearbook.
