Miriam Misrach's essay describing Peter Palmquist's life and work. A memorial. A Eureka Times-Standard obituary.

Scot Hacker:

Palmquist had created the world's largest collection of photographs of early California, and had catalogued and described them meticulously.

Palmquist is one of those people most will never hear of but who made their lives count, and who enriches the lives of generations to come by his contributions.
