The County Office of Planning Photograph, Slide and Film Collection consists of 1,264 photographs, approximately 3,600 slides and two films. The contents of the collection visually document Santa Clara County from 1906 to 1980, with the bulk of the collection ranging from 1950 to 1970. The collection contains aerial views of the County, commercial development, housing, historical landmarks, industries, parks, public facilities, transportation, agriculture, and people. The collection concentrates on the development of the county, such as new housing developments, commercial developments, and park and recreation development. The purpose of this collection may have been to collect visuals for brochures and presentations. Currently only the photographs have been cataloged.

For additional information about the collection, please see the description in the Online Archives of California (http://www.oac.cdlib.org).

You may search the collection holdings for pictures of specific subjects, locations, or date by using the index below. Generally, it is preferable to use the singular rather than the plural for a subject in a search (for example, "airport" rather than "airports"). The photographs are available for viewing at the County Archives.

The following search terms are prominent in the collection and can serve as a beginning point for exploring the collection.

Aerial, Agriculture, Air Pollution, Airplanes, Apartments, Areas of the County, Churches, Civic Center, Commercial, County Parks, Display Models, Earthquakes and Floods, Erosion and Benching, Farming Activities, Garbage Dumps, Gas Stations, Hillside Development, Historical Landmarks, Industrial, Industry, Local Streets and Highways, Offices, Orchards, Parks and Recreation, People, Public Facilities, Recreational Activities, Residential, Santa Clara County Fair, Schools and Colleges, Shopping Centers, Single Stores, Skyline, Special Problems, Subdivisions, Traffic, Trails and Pathways, Transportation, Utilities.

The Register of Doctors' Certificates consist of 478 registrations from 1916 to 1943. These registrations show doctors who were allowed to practice in the state of California, and who registered in the County of Santa Clara.

You may search the registrations using the index below. Each index entry includes the name of the doctor, college attended, State Board of Medical Examiners Authorization date, date of registration with the County, and notes. The Register of Doctors' Certificates, which contains the registrations, is available at the County Archives. Additional information about any registration also may be obtained by contacting the Archives by e-mail or phone.

Measures of Success (MOS) was developed as a client centered approach to demonstrate the County's progress in meeting client needs and to learn how to continuously address those needs. Departments are tasked with selecting measures that are representative of their core business. The definition of measures of success is an ongoing effort and may change over time through reassessment and the changing needs of the client.

This Dataset is updated nightly and contains all downloadable Medical Examiner-Coroner records, January 1, 2018 to current, related to deaths that occurred in the County of Santa Clara under the Medical Examiner-Coroner’s jurisdiction and those deaths reportable to the Medical Examiner-Coroner (non-jurisdictional cases/NJA) but in which the office did not assume jurisdiction.

The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner- Coroner’s Office determines cause and manner of death for those deaths that fall under the jurisdiction of the Medical Examiner-Coroner, as defined by California Government code 27491.

The Medical Examiner-Coroner will not be responsible for data verification, interpretation or misinformation once data has been downloaded and manipulated from the dashboard.

The County of Santa Clara Public Health Department provides an overview of SARS-CoV-2 virus concentration in wastewater samples collected at wastewater treatment facilities that serve people in Santa Clara County.

Protocol of Sample Collection & Testing: Samples for testing consist of “settled solids” from wastewater entering each treatment plant. Samples are collected 7 days a week from the wastewater treatment plants and are transported daily to a commercial lab for analysis. Laboratory staff process the samples to quantify pieces of the SARS-CoV-2 viral genome in the wastewater. These procedures use methods to concentrate solids and extract RNA and detect viral RNA. Results are typically ready within 24 hours of sample drop-off and are uploaded to this page. The quick turnaround and posting are one of the major advantages of utilizing this data.

Interpretation of Plots: Data reflected in the table below shows the results for one SARS-CoV-2 gene (N gene), and the concentrations are “normalized” by the concentration of a plant virus that is harmless to humans but is shed in stool (pepper mild mottle virus, or PMMoV). Normalizing by PMMoV adjusts for changes in the amount of feces in the sample and the efficiency of the procedures from day to day.

Wastewater typically contains waste from a variety of sources, such as from your shower or a commercial process. These types of waste do not have stool (which is the source of SARS-CoV-2) so they dilute the sample. Therefore, we adjust this sample to the known amount of feces in the wastewater to get an accurate result.
The curves displayed are the “7-day trimmed average” of the sample results. This is done by using 7 consecutive samples, eliminating the maximum and minimum among the 7 samples, and then taking the mean. The smoothing is right aligned. Trends in wastewater have been shown to track trends in COVID incidence.
