Launer History Room
The Albert Launer Memorial Local History Room is dedicated to information regarding Fullerton, Fullerton history, and to a lesser extent the surrounding communities. The Launer History Room was established in 1973 with funds from Lulu Convis Launer in honor of her late husband Albert Launer.
Many of the materials in the history room are from Fullerton's early history and development and include books, scrapbooks, personal narratives written by early residents, program brochures, periodical and newspaper clippings, maps, local telephone books, city directories, photographs, videotapes, microfilm, slides, posters, and memorabilia.
The Launer room has several projects in the works including digitizing two photograph collections which are available online: the Fullerton Building Survey as well as the Centennial Collection.

I am suddenly charged with their language, these six strings,
Suddenly made to see they can declare
Nothing but harmony, and may not move
Without a happy stirring of the air
That builds within this room a second room....”
