Featured Link: The Museum of the City of San Francisco. Great historic photos of the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge and of the Oakland Bay Bridge. Photos of the 1989 earthquake (the Cypress freeway collapse photos are tear jerkers), and transcripts of the 1991 Oakland hills firestorm are just a few things you'll see here. This is a fabulous site.
