Grant helps to make Peoples Temple photos, recordings accessible to the public

Some 5,000 images and 49 audio recordings from the Peoples Temple political activism in the 1970s will be among thousands of photographs and records made available to the public, thanks to a nearly $100,000 grant to the California Historical Society.

The grant, from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, will also help provide public access to ACLU of Northern California records and the papers of activist Mike Miller, the historical society announced.
