Field notes
The sample material connects individual properties to records of changing streets and neighborhoods, including a 1915 atlas that depicts Ocean Beach as a grid of narrow walks with many lots still empty. The site describes research sources including deeds, city directories, census pages, and local-library files. A hardcover is listed at $79; the $129 linen edition is labeled as coming soon.
