World War II in the San Francisco Bay Area is based on information in the files of the National Register of Historic Places and National Historic Landmarks collections. The essay, "World War II Shipbuilding in the San Francisco Bay Area," was excerpted from Wayne Bonnett's Build Ships! San Francisco Bay Wartime Shipbuilding Photographs, published by and available through Windgate Press, Sausalito, California.

The itinerary was conceptualized by the World War II Network, a consortium of National Parks and heritage preservation partners with a common goal of promoting the preservation, interpretation and public recognition of our World War II-era historic properties. Stephen Haller with Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Mike Buhler with the Western Office of the National Trust for Historic Preservation coordinated the Network's contributions, including property descriptions. National Register web production team members included Jeff Joeckel, who designed the original itinerary, Rustin Quaide and Shannon Bell (all of NCSHPO).
