Peter Farquhar...||...Mary & Tombo

Peter Farquhar taught History and Geography for over twenty years at Cabrillo Community College near Santa Cruz, California where he won praise as a distinguished teacher and an innovator in the introduction of audio/visual and computer technologies in the classroom. He began developing techniques for the digital archiving of family history in 1992, while working on a project with the Oral History Office at U.C. Berkeley's Bancroft Library.

Peter advises individuals, families and organizations on the preservation of their history, conducts workshops and seminars on various digital technologies and produces beautifully designed and carefully printed histories accompanied by digitally archived media.

Mary Farquhar is an award winning teacher of German at Lowell High School in San Francisco and has produced numerous videos for foreign language instruction.

Mary is particularly skilled at the translation of family history documents and in proofing and editing transcripts. She is fluent in both Spanish and German.

The Farquhars live in San Francisco. Peter is a third generation native; Mary's family is from Vienna, although she was born and grew up in Manila. They embrace the rich cultural heritage of cosmopolitan San Francisco, including its creative arts, music, literature, love of history and tradition of fine printing; and they delight in sharing the process of expanding that heritage using the new technologies of the digital revolution.

TomboMedia, established in 1993 by the Farquhars, is dedicated to the creation, publication and preservation of personal, family, and business history.

Tombo is their cat.
