Not all issues are available online yet, we will post more as they are scanned. You can support our community effort to preserve and display the Bay Guardian here . The Guardian is still publishing: You can check out recent Guardian articles and endorsements here , and browse the latest Best of the Bay here . We are incredibly grateful to Rainbow Grocery for their support for this project. Special thanks to Matt Fisher, Leighton Walter, and all the Bay Guardian donors who are helping to make this project possible. Please contact marke@48hills.org if you have any questions. How to use these archives You can view and search the archives in two formats: Flip-through editions have all migrated to their permanent home at the Internet Archive. Click the button below to browse at archive.org. Text articles for many of our articles written after word-processing software became standard are also available. These articles are presented based on where they originally appeared, whether in the print edition of the Guardian , or online at SFBG.com. Not all articles are available in both formats, so try both if you can’t find one. Browse flip-through editions Browse print sections Browse SFBG.com blogs Search and browsing tips Issue numbering The Guardian editorial calendar resets in October. Issue #1 was published the first week of October every year. How to search PDFs Our search bar above only returns results from full-text stories from our print and blog sections. All our PDFs are hosted at the Internet Archive . Blogs vs print sections In most cases, posts that appeared online at sfbg.com but not in print (e.g., blog entries and some listings) are not categorized by Issue. To find blog posts, search for the blog name or browse under the SFBG Blogs menu item. Topic searching We have newly reindexed all topic keywords based on basic automated text analysis. If you notice really screwy results when searching by topic, we’d appreciate you letting us know. Writer searching In some cases the name attributions in the old database file don’t reflect the correct byline. We’d appreciate your help identifying misattributed stories so we can correct them. Structural continuity Over its 50 year history, the Guardian’s structure evolved continuously. Sections grew and split, columns came and went, topics got expanded into special editions and sometimes refolded back into the paper. For the most part, we’re presenting sections and organizational concepts as they would have appeared circa 2014. That means that some special editions, pullouts, columns and blogs may be categorized differently here than they were at original pub date. As older and pre-internet issues of the paper become available, we’ll rely mostly on automated text analysis to help determine how to categorize and find stories. 48hills.org is the official publication of the non-profit San Francisco Progressive Media Center.
