Steve LaVoie managed the Oakland library’s project with the Online Archive. (Some other collections within the Online Archive also show views of Oakland.) The librarians staffing the History Room (2nd floor, main library) are knowledgeable and will help find things. Right now there’s an interesting exhibit there about the tidal slough we know as Lake Merritt.
