In honor of this year's Schmulowitz Collection of Wit and Humor exhibition: "A Dog's Life (With A Special Appearance by Cats), 'It Came From the (Photo) Morgue' goes to the dogs! And for more on the San Francisco S.P.C.A. archives visit the San Francisco History Center.

Walter Minton, dog-catcher -- beg pardon, S.P.C.A. agent -- receives thanks of Barbara O'Ferrell for bringing in her dog.
The Library owns the photo morgue of the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin, a daily newspaper that covered the time period from the 1920’s to 1965. Much of the San Francisco History Collection comes from the News-Call Bulletin morgue. However, the morgue also includes national and international subjects that have not been digitized or cataloged.
