But what a great source!!! I'm looking forward to the earlier issues....they also have the New York Times, which I haven't accessed yet, but my Irish ancesters travelled to SF via New York so I'm hoping the early issues of the Times will provide some helpful info.   Ron, I do want to thank you...I had only been using my card to access HeritageQuest through the library. I had no idea that they actually offerred so many other sources until I went looking for the Chronicle after your posting. So...THANKS...A LOT !!!!   Doug, I could be wrong, but I thought as long as you were a resident of CA the card was free. I got mine when I lived in Walnut Creek and it didn't cost me anything. Might want to go to their site and double check that...or call...to see if it's still the same.   Thanks again...

But I was wondering... SFPL site mentions that anyone can get a visitor's library card "for a fee." No where do they bother to cost that fee or categorize whether the card has full privileges, such as home access to Proquest. Occasionally I get to the City and could actually apply for a card. Can anyone tell me what he cost of the "visitor" library card is and what one gets for having one?

ProQuest is available through participating libraries, such as the San Francisco Public Library (and can be accessed at your own computer). If you do have access, once you are in ProQuest, choose "News - Historical San Francisco Chronicle" from the "Database" drop-down menu in the Search sections. You need to do this BEFORE you go to the "Publications" tab. Under that tab, you can browse articles by date.
