Correspondence contains detailed accounts of block-by-block zoning procedures. Also includes materials pertaining to the establishment of the Delancey Street Foundation in 1968, which founded a drug rehabilitation center in Cow Hollow.

The Cow Hollow Improvement Club records document the activities of one of San Francisco's well known neighborhood associations. Residents of the area founded the organization in 1946 in order to advance and promote their neighborhood, as well as improve the welfare of the City of San Francisco. With both a sense of history and humor, the members choose the name Cow Hollow in honor of the farms which once overlooked the hillside. Within a short time, the Club boasted a membership of over thirty-two families within the district boarded by Lyon to the west; Pierce to the east; Filbert to the north; and, Pacific to the south.
