Branch Archives Collection

The Branch Archives Collection is a digitized collection of photographs, documents, and ephemera created and kept by individual SFPL branch libraries in the course of their everyday activities. Arrangement is by branch, with items sometimes titled by date digitized rather than by content. Materials reflect the branches' reference desk topics, operational work, neighborhood history, and community events. Additional Branch Library files may be found in the archival collection of San Francisco Public Library Records, located in the San Francisco History Center on the 6th floor of the Main Library.
