Series 1.  People, 1973-1985

Extent: 64 photographs
Language(s): English

Scope and Content Note

Items 001-057. Includes color and black-and-white photographic prints ranging in size from 1.5 x 2 in. to 8 x 10 in. of shipping executives. There are multiple photographs of different people who worked for American President Line, International Longshoremen Workers Union, Matson Navigation Company, Oakland Port Authority, and San Francisco Port Authority.
The photographs appear to be mostly, if not all, taken by professional photographers. Many of them are close-up studio portraits, most likely taken for public relations. There is a sticker, writing or a press release associated with almost every print, giving the name and professional title of the person being photographed. Most of the photographs have printer's marks. Photographers include Gabriel Moulin Portraiture, Potash and Co., and William J. Rader Executive Portraiture, all of San Francisco.
