Greg Lucas was appointed California State Librarian by Governor Jerry Brown on
March 25, 2014. Besides collecting and preserving California’s history and
culture, the State Library – founded in 1850 – provides access to books for
visually impaired Californians and conducts research into an array of areas at the
request of lawmakers and the governor.
The State Librarian also advocates for literacy, librarians, and California’s 1,185
libraries.
California possesses one of the most important history collections in the United
States. The collection begins with artifacts dating to 1540 and continues through
the present. There are books, newspapers, lithographs, and campaign
memorabilia as well as 4,500 maps and 250,000 photographs.
Previously, Greg was a senior editor at Capitol Weekly and a freelance writer. He
created the blog, California’s Capitol, www.californiascapitol.com, in 2007. He is
also a Friends of the California Archives board member.
During 19 years covering the state Capitol for the San Francisco Chronicle, Greg
wrote nearly 3,000 articles on everything from presidential politics to the
introduction of prune burgers in school cafeterias. He was also a ride operator on
Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland.
He has a Bachelor’s degree in Communications from Stanford University and a
Masters degree in Professional Writing from the University of Southern
California.
