By Gina Bardi, reference liBrarian Whether you are doing in-depth primary source research or fishing around for something that piques your interest, finding material can be daunting. Where do you start? Our collections have many different Access Points (fancy librarian talk for “ways to find what you are looking for”). First, I should explain what we have in the collection to lure you in, so to speak. The Maritime Library (J. Porter Shaw Library), located at Center, Building E, third floor, is a Special Collections Research Library. The collection includes traditional library material such as published books, journals, ephemera, films, newspaper clippings and also archi- val collections such as manuscripts, documents, photographs, oral histories, log books, diaries and plans of vessels. We are Pacific specific (say it five times fast) but not exclusive. Our patrons range from serious academics doing complex research to visitors stopping by to browse the latest maritime magazines. Our strengths include Bay Area maritime history, Photos, top, clockwise: From the park's collections: Section of an oil painting of the 1901 barkentine Lahaina off whaling, naval architecture, maritime industries, personal the Golden Gate (SAFR 506), frontispiece from the logbook of the 1849–49 voyage of the Niantic (SAFR 13574 narratives and ship building.
