San Francisco Examiner Archives go to UC Berkeley’s Bancroft Library
An invaluable gift: The Anschutz Corporation is donating more than 5 million items from the San Francisco Examiner’s archives to the Bancroft Library at the University of California-Berkeley. Already holding many items related to California’s history, the library’s collection will now have some excellent primary source materials from the newspaper.
"From its start under William Randolph Hearst, the Examiner had one of the most comprehensive libraries in the business.
‘He wanted a good library because this was his flagship paper and the love of his life as far as newspapers,’ said former Examiner head librarian Judy Canter."
