Snapshots of Orange County in the 1940s: Spaces, Places, Faces

Snapshots of Orange County in the 1940s: Spaces, Places, Faces explores the cultural, economic, and political landscape of Orange County from its inception through World War II. While multicultural groups were setting roots before the war, military installations brought soldiers from all over the country to Orange County, changing the demographics, cultural norms, and expectations. This exhibition shares the stories of the spaces, places, and faces that transformed rural Orange County to a thriving metropolis.

Exhibit was on display in Langson Library from February through October 2022.
