This week in the archives we have been researching the Rancho San Jose! Not many people realize that the area of Claremont used to be part of this historic rancho, which at one point had over 20,000 acres of land. That's a lot of land!

Listen here for a short history on the Rancho San Jose and the men who were behind it, Ygnacio Palomares and Ricardo Vejar.

Looking for something to do this weekend? Come check out Stitching our Stories: The Asian Perspective!

This exhibition pulls together artworks by artists of different ages, backgrounds, and media to piece together a collective story about Asians in art. From performance to sculpture, digital to oils, each work brings audiences into a new perspective. In addition to art pieces, the exhibition also includes posters of each artist that detail their background, their work, and quotes from interviews conducted in the months before the showcase. Clips from these interviews will also be presented. The exhibition not only hopes to spread Asian culture, but also to reach more audiences who can engage in conversation with this community.

Curator: Mia Li
Involved Artists (not in alphabetical order): Eunsoo Jeong, Seohee Choi, Mandy Tan, Sandra Low, Lin Jin (Double S), Symin Adive, Yoon Lee, Liyao Liao, Tommy Lei, Dan Kwon, Alice Feng (Corviday), Audrey Chan
