Scope and Contents
Collection of photographs and research material concerning railroads, street cars and other public transportation in and around
Oakland and Berkeley, California from historian and local railway employee William Everard Gardiner (1869-1949). Born in Cedar
County, Iowa, Gardiner worked for the San Francisco-Oakland Terminal Railways and later the Key System (which took over the
SF-O Terminal Railways in 1924). He was Chief Instructor and Superintendent of Schedules through at least 1928.
Gardiner was an early member of the Pacific Railway Club (est. 1917) and Railway and Locomotive Historical Society (est. 1925).
He was also a photographer, and the collection contains negatives and prints made by him, along with reproductions of older
images. Some of the photographs by Gardiner document the 1906 earthquake’s effects in Berkeley. There is also information
on the general history of Alameda County.
The collection contains photographs, manuscripts & typescripts on history (some transcribed), correspondence, newspaper &
magazine clippings (primarily 1920s Oakland Tribune articles), ephemera including many examples of train tickets, scrapbooks,
and other material. Gardiner material may be present in other Stanford transportation collections; likewise other material
may have been added to the Gardiner collection in the past.

Old but in some cases later prints originally stored with nitrate negatives (which are not available but may be the subject
of future digitization). More detailed notes are written on envelopes. There are multiple prints in some cases. Note: prints
are extremely brittle and in some cases have already broken.
