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.

March 16, 1960 - Nothing gets past the big ears of this man who appears like a visitor from Mars. Even whispered secrets would not escape detection. The man with the Mars-like headgear is modeling a French invention to amplify fog signals from other ships at sea. The navigational aid was shown for the first time at the annual inventors' show held in Brussels, Belgium.
