Category:Persons with 5 historical-source biographies
Published sources for multiple biographies of historical Santa Cruz County persons. The five main biography sources for persons living before WWI are:
- E. E. Elliott, Santa Cruz County, Calif. Illustrations, with Historical Sketch (1879 book). See Category:Persons in Elliott
- The Santa Cruz chapter of the Society of California Pioneers. Its member biographies are collected in Santa Cruz County History Journal Number 4. See Category:Persons in Society of Pioneers
- E. S. Harrison, History of Santa Cruz County (Harrison-1892). See Category:Persons in Harrison
- James Miller Guinn, History of the state of California and biographical record of Santa Cruz...(Guinn, 1903). See Category:Persons in Guinn
- Edward Martin, History of Santa Cruz, California (Martin, 1911). See Category:Persons in Martin
Another source of early biography is A memorial and biographical history of the coast counties of Central California, but while it includes historical sketches and short biographies of four counties (Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz, and San Mateo), few Santa Cruz County persons are included.
Later sources (e.g. Riptide Centennial) tend to mainly refer back to one or more of these five. The number of such biographies provides a rough idea of a person's prominence during their lifetime.
