Bayview / Hunters Point Neighborhood
Hunters Point Dry docks built, 1918

Refined research question:
What postwar factors caused the once thriving and prosperous
Hunters Point neighborhood to decline into conditions plagued by
poverty and crime?
Research areas to pursue:
• San Francisco Public Library:– San Francisco History Center (6th Floor): municipal
records, city planning records, newspaper archives – Government Information Center (5th Floor): Naval
Records, government planning materials
• San Francisco Maritime Museum and Library (at Aquatic Park and Fort Mason)– Bay Area Shipyard(s) information and records– Information on ships built and shipyard operations
• Bethlehem Steel Museum (Downtown SF)– History of Bethlehem Steel in the Bay Area and
nationwide– History of Bethlehem Steel in Hunters Point
specifically
• Bancroft Library– Henry J. Kaiser Papers: info on Bay Area shipyards– Possible oral histories from WWII era
• Other Theses Papers and Dissertations on Bayview/Hunters Point Neighborhood and/or Shipyards (secondary sources)
It’s been a long research journey…
…and there’s still a long way to go…
…andwhen times get tough…
