Acquisition Information
SAFR-00001
GOGA-00789
Received from Marilyn Blaisdell as an exchange in return for loan of SFMM negatives and prints in 1977. The original paperwork
states that there were (23) 8 x 10 in. photographic prints, but only (21) were found at the time of processing in 2016 (7
in Classified Collection storage and 14 in P-number collection storage). Two copy negatives were made from the photographic
prints in 1995 and on an unknown date.
SAFR-00001 is a blanket accession that was transferred from the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) to the San Francisco
Maritime National Historical Park in September 1988. GGNRA had previously acquired the collection from the San Francisco Maritime
Museum when it became a unit of the National Park Service in 1977.
GOGA-00789 was transferred from the J. Porter Shaw Library to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) in February
1985.
