Mission Santa Clara de Asis: 8th Mission, founded 1777 http://missionsantaclara.posterous.com Fourth grade mission project: Photo Journal posterous.com Fri, 29 Jan 2010 07:18:19 -0800 How this blog was created http://missionsantaclara.posterous.com/how-this-blog-was-created http://missionsantaclara.posterous.com/how-this-blog-was-created Note: This blog was created by James Truong via email using a service called Posterous. Posterous builds a blog when you email photographs. James took photographs using an iPhone (little camera). Some photographs were taken by his mother using a Canon Digital SLR (big camera). The photographs are all watermarked accordingly. All blog posts (except this one, and the set-up post) were typed by James whose typing speed is 3 words per minute. Some posts include a group of photos that were emailed at once, they form "sets" on the blog.

In a cavity in the cornerstone were placed a crucifix, religious images, and Spanish coins to signify the Church treasury. (The cornerstone was accidentally found by a workman digging for a gas main along Franklin Street in 1911. The cornerstone and its contents are on display in the Mission Room of the University’s de Saisset Museum.)"
