Preservation of CPRR Records at the CSRM in a Sacramento Flood
Are all of the unique Central Pacific Railroad records at the California State Railroad Museum located high enough so that they would be safely above the maximum flood level? Are all of these unique records digitized or microfilmed and copies kept at one or more secure offsite locations so that if the original records are destroyed, for example, by flood or fire, copies will survive? If not, what can be done?

We've been painfully aware of our levee liabilities for some time. In the immediate term there is little we can do except plan contingencies.
However, one thing we are moving forward on is locating a place on high ground where we can build a State Parks collection facility to care for all our collections – above flood level.
