San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Records (SF SPCA)
Photographs chiefly taken for use in San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) publications, exhibits, and promotional materials, as well as for administrative purposes. SF SPCA building construction and vehicles; rescue, treatment, and care of animals; and shots of various types of animals, alone, together, and with human companions, are well-represented. Horses, cats, and dogs are animals most frequently pictured in the collection. Specific SF SPCA programs and events--particularly the Hearing Dog Program and Poochie Parade--are represented to a lesser but still significant extent. Most of the animal subject files are from the mid-late 20th century. Older photographs, going back to the 19th and early 20th century, are clustered in the Ambulances and vehicles, Buildings, Cruelty, and Horses files.
