The San Francisco Public Library owns the photo morgue of the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin, a daily newspaper that covered the time period from the 1920s to 1965. Much of the San Francisco Historical Photograph Collection comes from the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin Photo Morgue. However, the morgue also includes statewide, national, and international subjects and people that have not been digitized or cataloged. When researchers order scans from the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin Photo Morgue,selections are cataloged and added to the online database.

Judge Theresa Meikle
Because as a judge presiding over one of the departments of San Francisco's Municipal Court she proves that a woman can meet men jurists on equal grounds.
Because she deals with sordid problems, but never loses her ideals nor her confidence in human beings.
Because she is committed to enactment and enforcement of better laws for protection of rights of women and children.
