Introduction

Golden Gate National Recreation Area

Park Description

Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), a unit of the National Park Service, was established by an Act of Congress on October 27, 1972. The 80,000-acre park encompasses a great diversity of cultural and natural resources in and around the Bay Area of San Francisco, California.  It includes Muir Woods National Monument and Fort Point National Historic Site.

The park holds almost five million three-dimensional and documentary artifacts dating from the time before European contact to the present.  They are preserved and maintained for the public by the Division of Cultural Resources and Museum Management, which includes the Park Archives and Records Center (PARC). 

Park Archives and Records Center

Historical Note

GGNRA and the sites within it have been collecting records since their inception. The PARC was established in 1994 to receive records and archival collections from the U.S. Army and the Presidio Army Museum after the closure of the Presidio of San Francisco as an Army base. The collections continue to grow through the donation of materials by private individuals, transfer of inactive park records by staff, and acquisition of relevant documentary materials.

Scope of Collections

The archival collections in the custody of the GGNRA document the history and activity of the various sites and groups associated with the park, described in the park’s Scope of Collection Statement (2009). 

The PARC contains U.S. Army and National Park Service facility records for the Presidio of San Francisco, forts and coast defense sites in the area, and various GGNRA sites.  Subjects and sites documented include the United States Army (Bear Flag Revolt, Civil War, Spanish-American War, Mexican War, World War I, Army Air Service, Coast Artillery, Army medical facilities and issues, World War II, Army support during natural disasters, Viet Nam War, and Operation Desert Storm); Alcatraz Island (Army fortress, Army Disciplinary Barracks, U.S. Penitentiary, and Indian Occupation); the natural resources conservation movement resulting in the establishment of Muir Woods National Monument; agriculture in the Marin Headlands; Point Reyes Peninsula and Bolinas Lagoon areas; U.S. Lifesaving/Coast Guard Services; San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906; Panama Pacific International Exposition of 1915; natural resources and environmental issues; and preservation of open space in the Bay Area.  Also included in the PARC are many of the GGNRA administrative records that document the development and expansion of this park.

Visiting the PARC for Research

The PARC is located in an historic brick building, formerly a cavalry stable, on the Presidio of San Francisco.  Collections and archives support services are available for walk-in research during open hours or by appointment.  Please contact the PARC (see below) for the current schedule of reference hours.

Copy Services 

Black and white photocopy services for standard and oversize materials are available on-site.  Color photocopying, photographic duplication, and duplication of other media are available by special arrangement.  Researchers are charged for all duplicates on a cost-recovery basis.

Rights and Publications

Copies are provided under the Fair Use provisions of the Copyright Law (Title 17, U.S.C.).  Researchers must complete a Permission to Publish Contract form with the Park Archivist for any other intended use of these materials (such as publication or exhibit).  Researchers should consult with staff regarding their needs for commercial or public use of materials.  

Legal Status of Holdings

Many holdings of the PARC were acquired/transferred prior to the establishment of the archives program, and have little documentation on their provenance (source/chain of custody).  All materials received after 1994 have been accessioned and documented.  If provenance cannot be determined, the PARC assumes that it owns the property rights, but does not own the copyright. Staff will provide assistance, but it is the responsibility of the researcher to acquire permission from the copyright holder to cite, quote, or reproduce collection materials.

Collections developed by or for government organizations or operations are in the public domain and may be used, cited, and quoted without restriction, provided they are properly credited to the PARC.  The archives contain no national security classified materials.

Donations to the Collections

The PARC welcomes donations of a variety of historic materials that meet the criteria in the Scope of Collections Statement and do not duplicate existing holdings. Collections are maintained for research use in perpetuity; there is no guarantee that items will be exhibited.  If you own materials that may be relevant to the themes of GGNRA and would like to deposit them in the PARC, please consult with an archivist.

How to Use This Finding Aid

This document contains information on the contents and significance of an archival collection.  It includes descriptive information; repository information; collection history; biographical or historical information on creators of the collection; and a container or folder list of everything in the collection.  After reviewing the finding aid, please discuss your specific needs with the archivist who will locate and retrieve the relevant materials. 

How to Use the Collections

Please follow all rules and regulations regarding research, the use of the research facility, and the handling of collection materials. This will protect the collections so they continue to be available for generations to come. If anything appears to be out of order or damaged, please notify a staff member.

Provenance 
The building plans and records (AFOMA Army Records Group) for Fort Mason were most likely transferred from Fort Mason to the Presidio of San Francisco when it became a sub-installation of the Presidio after the fort’s deactivation. PARC acquired the collection upon the deactivation of the Presidio and the transfer of its property to the National Park Service in 1994.

The records included under the Army Records Group OABFOMA were copied from the Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) and the Public Affairs Office of the MTMC at the Oakland Army Base by Susan Ewing Haley and accessioned into the Park Archives in February and May of 1997. 

Scope Note
The Fort Mason Collection is comprised of real property and building utilization records, historic documents which traverse the spectrum of reservation boundary and easement titles to information on the founding of the State of California and San Francisco to the initial acquisition of railroad facilities, records which document the role of the San Francisco Port of Embarkation during World War II throughout the Bay Area as well as the Western Coast at large, records which document Fort Mason’s deactivation and transfer to the National Park Service (NPS) which encompassed the movement of operations to Oakland and then, eventually, to the Presidio of San Francisco, and, finally, records which document the beginning of NPS environmental conservation and architectural restoration and reuse efforts. The collection also includes oversized maps, plans, and drawings which document the changing Fort Mason landscape under United States Army ownership, as well as a few drawings which depict NPS plans for future development which were consulted by the Army during deactivation while Fort Mason was cohabitated by the Army and the Park Service.

Significance: This collection is significant for PARC retention because of its detailed documentation of California’s origins, military management and domestic wartime operations of a major port of embarkation in a metropolitan city, as well as an insight into how the City of San Francisco negotiates for land acquisitions and how the National Park Service initially conducted itself during the initial transfer and joint ownership of the Fort Mason property.

Related Records:  Please note that this list is not comprehensive.  It is intended as an aid to researchers.  For more complete information, contact the reference archivist.

The collection is in good condition overall, however, there are facets that have fairly acute water and associated mold damage. Also, particular materials—such as mylar and vellum—that are frequently used for maps and plans have absorbed a pungent odor in accordance with the collection’s location to the coast and the ocean.

Frequently, photocopies and Xeroxes of informational materials—such as documentation of reservation boundaries and ownership rights (leases, railroad trackage), deactivation, and transfer—appear in multiple files, but have been retained in order to leave the provenance of the materials as a whole entity, unmolested.

Timeline of Fort Mason

History of Fort Mason

Fort Mason Timeline

1797: Punta Medanos is recognized by the Spanish Governor of the California territory, Don Diego de Borcia as a sub-fort of the Presidio.

1806: The installation is practically abandoned by Governor Jose Joaquin de Arrillaga when he discovers the mounted guns are useless from exposure and neglect.

1848: A joint Navy and Engineering Commission is appointed to select points of defense for California and identifies Point San Jose as prime real estate.

1850: President Fillmore designates Point San Jose as a military reservation of 100 acres.

1854: Due to military inattention, squatters set up residence at Black Point; notable squatters include John C. Fremont, who was an integral part of the Bear Flag Rebellion that established the state of California, and his wife Jessie Benton, the daughter of Senator Benton from Missouri—who built “Porter’s Lodge”—as well as Leonidas K. Haskell.

1859: United States Senator David Broderick dies in what is presently known as Quarters 3—originally the Haskell House—of wounds sustained in a duel with Justice Terry of the State Supreme Court concerning California’s induction into the Union as a slave state.
