If you stop in at the Catalina conservancy they would be glad to help you. Volunteer any time.
If you take one of the land tours, they will be glad to enlighten you on all of the knowledge of the Island history 4 free. Also there's a great museum that you will love that'll help you with this!
Not sure but it would be a great place to go. I know people there mentioned that a lot of interns go there during the summer to cater to the tourism rush
