The University of the Pacific will commemorate 100 years in Stockton, California in 2024. This digital history website will inventory the monuments and memorials on campus and begin to tell the stories of diverse Pacificans. I begin with the Jacoby Center and the Harold S. Jacoby Award, named for a prominent sociologist; Anderson Hall where numerous student clubs met in the mid-20th century; and Burns Tower, a central landmark on campus which students stormed in 1969 to demand a Black Student Union and other reforms. Over time, I envision a participatory website where students, alumni, faculty, and staff can contribute their research.
