Scope and content:

Staple-bound oversize paper volumes compiled by a clipping service to track news of the San Francisco District Attorney's Office. At least some of the volumes are labeled inside with tags from Allen's Press Clipping Bureau.

Most pages have clippings with "1238" marked in red pencil, with the name of the District Attorney , D.A. official, or the D.A.'s office underlined.

Clippings are daily and come primarily from San Francisco and San Francisco Bay Area newspapers, including the Chronicle , News , Examiner , and People's World . Coverage includes criminal cases in which the District Attorney's Office would typically get involved, including vice, graft, juvenile delinquency, and violent crimes; together with some coverage of the presence of the District Attorney's Office at public functions and the District Attorney's positions on City issues. The San Francisco District Attorneys during this time period were Edmund Gerald (Pat) Brown, who served 1943-1950, and Thomas C. Lynch, who served 1951-1964.
