SAMCC's artifact collections are as varied as the people who have lived and worked in the Sacramento region. To document daily life in Sacramento, SAMCC stores a variety of household items, furniture, toys, tools, quilts, and costumes. The working life of Sacramentans, from farmers to clerks to miners, is represented in farm tools, office equipment, and dredging machinery.

The public can see artifacts from SAMCC's collections featured at the Discovery Museum in Old Sacramento. The museum has regularly changing exhibits which draw on SAMCC's collections. SAMCC also loans artifacts for exhibit and research to other museums in California.
