The OAKLAND PICTORIAL ARCHIVE is a self published book featuring vintage, historic Oakland ephemera I have found over the years. The OAKLAND PICTORIAL ARCHIVE is essentially a picture book. The image filled pages tell a visual story. The images within the pages are from old Oakland postcards, matchbook covers, newsprint ads, product labels and photographs. This online version of the OAKLAND PICTORIAL ARCHIVE features images that did not make it into the actual book.
