Page 18 - Historical Study of Yerba Buena Island, Treasure Island and Their Buildings

Acknowledgments

The history of both Y erba Buena Island and Treasure Islarid is buried in archives located
throughout the San Francisco Bay area. Research for this historical study has been diverse and
extensive. Without the aid of the following people this report would not have been possible.

Project team members are:

• Roger Tyrrell, Project Manager; Mare Island Naval Shipyard,
BRAC Environmental Technical Division, Code 106.4

• Eric Hice, Project Researcher, Technical Writer; Mare Island Naval Shipyard,

Special contributions were made by:

• Robert MacKimmie, California Historical Society, who successfully reproduced
extremely old and delicate photographs, contained in the Historical Society's files,
relating to the history of both Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island. Although it
sounds easy, accomplishing the task without causing harm or damage to the original
photographs or books was tedious and complex. His willingness to accept the challenge
provided us with an invaluable resource.

• James Deering, Head Librarian at the Naval Station, Treasure Island Library, for his
effort and willingness to share the photographs and books relating to the early days of
the Goat Island Naval Training Station.

• Kathleen O'Connor, Pacific Sierra Branch of the National Archives, who located a
large number of documents from the Goat Island Training Station period. This helped us
define the picture of life on the island during the period separating the World Wars.

• Jeanne M. Day, Resident of Yerba Buena Island since 1987, who willingly shared the
results of all her historical research relating to Y erba Buena Island.
