Photograph of an aerial view of San Francisco, looking east toward Berkeley, 1946. Many rows of houses, divided by streets into large, rectangular areas, fill the foreground of the image, stretching toward the waters in the background. Highrise buildings sit in the center-ground, close to the bay. The Golden Gate bridge crosses the bay at the left edge of the image. Hills and other urban areas are visible in the background, on the far side of the bay.

Description The California Historical Society Collection is incomparable for the documentary picture it provides of the growth of Southern California, particularly the development of the Los Angeles region, between 1860 and 1960. The collection contains more than 25,000 photographs. The full archive was placed on long-term deposit at USC in 1990 and includes the Title Insurance and Trust Company Collection, also known as TICOR, and the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce Collection.
