Caption: "A Tank from the Liberty Bond Train." Shows a Renault FT Tank, a small French tank with caterpillar-style propulsion used during World War I. This tank was displayed as part of the fifth Liberty Bond Drive, held in 1919. During World War I, the U.S. government raised funds for the war by issuing "liberty bonds." Liberty Bond Trains crisscrossed the country to encourage purchase of the bonds. Citizens who purchased the bonds could later redeem them for the purchase price plus interest.

Caption: "Court House, Santa Cruz," c. 1912-1915. Image of the courthouse building constructed in Santa Cruz in 1896. The building was periodically renovated, the most extensive occurring after the 1906 earthquake, when much of the courthouse had to be rebuilt. In 1967, the county removed its court facilities to a new building. The old courthouse was subsequently remodeled, opening in 1972 as an office and retail building. Heavy damages sustained in 1989 as a result of the Loma Prieta earthquake necessitated the building's demolition. Please note that this photograph appears to be reversed, as this is a mirror image of the structure.
