The Snapshots in Time Collection

Gallery: Part 2

From mortar instruction at Camp San Luis Obispo in 1948 to Guardsmen facing demonstrators at Berkeley's People's Park in 1969, these press photographs trace three decades of the California National Guard. Wire service caption slips, release stamps, and photographers' credit marks on their reverses show how such images were documented and distributed.
