San Diego Health Reports and Documents

The San Diego Health Archive is a digital collection of documents, data, statistics, & reports on San Diego's health and health-related topics.

Government and private agencies create many "born-digital" reports. These are often posted on the web but not printed. Since many agencies have no formal digital preservation plan, important documents have been lost already. All agencies are encouraged to develop their own digital archives.

The San Diego Historical Society serves as a repository for such digital information and presents it here in a fully searchable format. Most of these files have been downloaded from the websites of local, state, and national agencies and organizations. These files are stored on our server and on more permanent media at the San Diego Historical Society Research Library.

Here are a just few of the public and non-profit sources for material in the San Diego Health Archive:

State of California:
Department of Health Services
San Diego County:
Department of Health and Human Services
Department of Environmental Health
Commission on Children, Youth and Families
