Artificial collection of photographs chronicling the after-effects of the San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906. The core
of the collection consists of images fromy the California State Earthquake Investigation Commission expeditions led by John
Caspar Branner, many of which were published as figures in their reports. To these have been added various unassociated earthquake
photographs in Stanford's holdings, including images of damage in Redwood City, Mendocino County, and many in downtown San
Francisco. There is also a series of panoramic aerial photographs, most published by San Francisco newspapers.
This material is believed to be in the public domain. There are no restrictions on use.
