Biography
Jessica Fredricks (1887 – 1979) was head of San Francisco Public Library’s Music Department 1917–1950.
Jessica Fredricks was born on September 29, 1887. Largely self-taught, her formal education consisting of only three months
of high school and summer coursework on library reference work at the University of California. In 1916 she began working
as a substitute librarian at the San Francisco Public Library, despite lacking the prerequisite high school diploma. Because
of her musical background and her experience teaching piano, she was asked upon the opening of the new Main Library in 1917
to head the Music Department. She strove to make the Library's Music Department a part of the City's musical life. During
her career, Fredricks wrote the book California Composers: Biographical Notes (1934) and various articles for Pacific Coast
Musical Review, Musical West and other music publications. Upon retiring from her job in 1950, she moved to Mexico and lived
nearly 30 more active years.
Selby C. Oppenheimer (1879 – 1941) was a well-known San Francisco impresario and managing director of the San Francisco War
Memorial Opera House and Veteran’s Building.
Oppenheimer was a San Francisco native. In their home, Mr. and Mrs. Selby Oppenheimer had a Steinway baby grand piano which
had over 400 autographs on its interior by the contemporary world’s greatest musicians who visited San Francisco. The couple
began collecting the autographs in the early 1920s.
