In this Year of the Bay, San Francisco is all about what happens in and on its surrounding waters. From the 150th anniversary of the Port to the arrival of the America's Cup races this summer, this exhibit celebrates all things aquatic in San Francisco history: its vibrant shipping and fishing industries, its recreational swimming and boating clubs, and other aspects of local life as defined by the City's relationship to its watery location.
Come see the Aquatic City exhibit on the Sixth Floor of the Main Library, through August 8.

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.
