Description
The William G. Merchant papers span the years 1934-1941 and are arranged into four series: Personal Papers, Golden Gate International
Exposition, Project Records, and Additional Donations. The collection contains correspondence, reports, drawings, financial
records, articles, blueprints and meeting minutes. The papers primarily relate to the Golden Gate International Exposition

residences (one in Sonoma), a mausoleum in San Mateo County, and a drawing of St. Mary's Square in San Francisco.
