A Zoom panel discussion celebrating the Tenderloin Times, a neighborhood newspaper which ran from 1977-1994. Hear about the history, as well as its ongoing digitization as part of the Neighborhood Newspapers of San Francisco, a public access online archive.

A collaborative effort of the San Francisco Department of Memory and housed at the Internet Archive, this collection contains over 2,260 issues of local monthlies dating back to the 1950s that have been made freely and widely accessible online. The Tenderloin Times was the first newspaper collection to be completed in the effort to digitally preserve and promote San Francisco community newspapers.

Rob Waters (former editor) and Sara Colm will join Neighborhood Newspapers of San Francisco project manager LisaRuth Elliott in sharing stories of the Tenderloin taken from its pages. Reporter Dennis Conkin will include insights about a lifetime in community journalism and photographer Lance Woodruff will reflect on photojournalism and his current role teaching history to youth. San Francisco History Center Historical Photograph Collection manager Christina Moretta will showcase a selection of the newly digitized archive of black and white original photographs used for the publication.

***Zoom link will be added the day of the event.***
