Oral histories conducted by Harvey Schwartz in 1987.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the building of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Labor Archives received a grant from the

nurses who cared for workers hurt on the job. Between April 4 and August 6, 1987, ten interviews were conducted by Harvey
Schwartz as part of the Golden Gate Bridge Workers Oral History project.
