Immediate Source of Acquisition
The Harvey Yorke Photographic Collection (accession #2019.03) was gifted by Carl Yorke, son of Harvey Yorke, on July 19, 2019
to San Francisco State University J. Paul Leonard Library Special Collections and Archives.
Processed by Angie Lin Mendoza in January 2020
The Harvey Yorke Photographic Collection is arranged into two series. Series 1: Photographs and Color Slides, 1967-1977, and
Series 2: Sound Recordings, 1969.
Harvey Yorke became San Francisco State College's press officer in May 1968, shortly before the historic student strike launched
in November and S.I. Hayakawa began his tenure (1968-1973) as college president. Yorke continued to work with Hayakawa when
he left higher education to successfully run for the U.S. Senate in 1976. Yorke set up the senator's press office in Washington,
D.C. and managed his San Francisco office for two years.
