Scope and Content of Collection Local news photographs taken by staff of the Examiner, a major San Francisco daily newspaper. The vast majority of the negative files record local persons and events in San Francisco, the Bay Area, and Northern California. Included are all the topics typically found in local news coverage, including politics, state and local government, society, sports, visiting dignitaries and celebrities, fashion, the arts, crime, accidents, transportation, urban and suburban development, and human interest stories. The negative files are not limited to images that were published in the newspaper; the majority was never printed. Original filing order has been maintained. The file system is based on filing code system used until 1981, and is chronological from 1981 until 2000. This finding aid presents the archive's contents in simple box number order (1-3174). The following summary describes characteristics of various box number runs, broken down either by physical material type or by arrangement scheme. Formerly, physical media (glass plates, nitrate film, and safety film) were interfiled with one another by code. For safety and preservation purposes, media have been separated for storage, and are described here as separate series with overlapping file code runs. (Note that the highest box number is 3174 in spite of a larger over-all box count. Some box numbers have been divided into several physical boxes and re-numbered, for example, as Box 11a and 11b.) • Boxes 1-218: Nitrate film negatives, General File.
