Scope and Contents

This collection consists of 51 scrapbooks, most measuring 10.5 x 15 inches, covering primarily college and professional football in the San Francisco Bay area. The scrapbooks were compiled by an unknown person and contain clippings dating from the late 1940s and early 1950s. Sources include San Francisco and Oakland newspapers, as well as other newspapers and magazines. Clippings include game reports, new stories, images, cartoons, advertisements, and other content. Scrapbooks 1 to 10 are mostly given over to newspaper columns and articles covering Bay area college football teams and the San Francisco 49ers. Vols. 11 to 20 consist mostly of clippings on St Mary's College (CA) athletics, especially football. Vols. 21 to 34 consist primarily of football related newspaper photographs, drawn from sources across the country. Vols. 35 to 51 include a miscellany of football related clippings, including cartoons, advertisements, and other illustrated material, as well as schedules, game lineups, and short articles; emphasis is again on Bay area teams.
