It Came From the (Photo) Morgue!: Beer Week

We hope you are enjoying the last weekend of SF Beer Week as these ladies are.

Caption:  These New York girls are believed to be pioneers of their sex in the recently-resumed vocation of beer-tasting. They are shown tasting the golden brew at the Lion Brewery, 108th Street and Columbus Avenue, and apparently are convinced that they may sip beer and still not have to worry about 18-day diets for reducing. Left to right: Ann Schindler, Loretta Kelly, and Rose Hesman. [March 29, 1933; International News Photo] [PS 17 BEER]

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.

Looking for a historical photograph of San Francisco? Try our online database first. Not there? Come visit us at the Photo Desk of the San Francisco History Center, located on the sixth floor at the Main Library. The Photo Desk hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays 10 a.m. to noon, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. You may also request photographs from the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin Photo Morgue.
