Description
Sponsor: Library, The
The vast photographic archives of the San Francisco Examiner were donated in 2006 to the University of California, Berkeley&39;s Bancroft Library. Numbering over four million items, the archives constitute an unparalleled visual record of the San Francisco Bay Area through the 20th century.
This exhibit in Doe Library is the first public display from the archives treasures, focusing on historic events from 1935 through 1960: migrant worker camps, labor unrest, the Japanese American internment, women in the war effort, the signing of the UN Charter, the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings, the Marilyn Monroe-Joe Di Maggio marriage, the execution of Caryl Chessman, and much more.
The exhibit was developed by Jack von Euw, Curator of The Bancroft Library Pictorial Collection.
