The San Francisco History Center Subject Collection consists of photographs, from the
1850s to the present. This collection includes views of San Francisco street scenes,
buildings, and neighborhoods, as well as photographs of famous San Francisco
personalities. A large part of this collection consists of the photograph morgue of
the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin newspaper, dating from the 1920's-1965,
when the collection was donated to the library.
The San Francisco History Center Subject Collection is arranged alphabetically by subject
heading. A subject guide to this
entire collection, including both digitized images and photographs, is available. In
addition, a guide to browse digitized
images by subject is also available. Finally, it is possible to
search the San Francisco History Center
Subject Collection using keywords.
