Humboldt County photographer Greg Rumney has one of the premier collections of historic Northern California photos. Currently the photo collection numbers more than 70,000 images that document the lives of our ancestors during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Logging, antique planes, trains and automobiles, classic motorcycles, early towns and their Victorian architecture as well as the people that lived in them are all subjects covered in depth. Whether you're researching a subject for a book, or you just like old pictures too, you'll find the perfect image in his collection.

The images presented on this web site are just a small sampling of what's available in the archives. If you are looking for a particular subject and don't see it here, contact Greg and he'll try and locate a suitable image for you. Images in the collection may also be licensed for publication or advertising purposes.
