SUMMARY:High Spirits: The Legacy Bars of San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Book Club of California \nCommunity\, heritage\, architecture—oh yes\, and stiff pours: these are the hallmarks of San Francisco’s Legacy Bars. High Spirits leads readers on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood pub crawl in search of the city’s most remarkable nightspots. Atmospheric photographs accompany descriptions of each bar’s colorful history\, unique architectural features\, idiosyncratic owners\, and quirky clientele. As we dip into one barroom after another\, we see that these establishments function as unofficial cultural centers\, offering kinship and continuity amid an ever-changing city; indeed\, all of the bars shown are at least forty years old and sites of significant historic or cultural value as deemed by San Francisco Heritage. Whether we are following in the footsteps of Beat writers in North Beach’s Vesuvio Café\, tossing peanut shells on the floor of The Homestead in the Mission\, or selecting jukebox songs (three for a quarter) at the Silver Crest Donut Shop in Bayview\, High Spirits welcomes us as regulars at every spot\, showing off the conviviality that makes San Francisco one of the great saloon towns. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by J.K. Dineen\, author and reporter\, San Francisco Chronicle \nFor more information or to register\, click here.

SUMMARY:Excavating and Reckoning with California’s Sorrowful Past
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Book Club of California \nTwo publications\, both published by Heyday\, bookend and frame Tony Platt’s talk. One book begins in a remote area of northwest California\, the other in the Bay Area’s metropolis. \nIn Grave Matters: The Controversy over Excavating California’s Buried Indigenous Past (2011\, 202) Platt investigated the global trade in everything Indian that during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries stocked public and university museums from Moscow to Berkeley. He was surprised to learn that the University of California\, Berkeley – his alma mater and workplace for many years – had played a significant role nationally in the pillaging of Indigenous homelands\, including the location of his family cabin in northern California. A decade later\, in a new edition of Grave Matters\, Platt reflects on how Cal\, as the university is known locally\, persisted in its defiance of law and morality\, and had failed to reckon with its sorrowful past. “The long struggle for repatriation is only part of a larger history still to be told\,” he observed. \nThat “larger history” is the subject of The Scandal of Cal: Land Grabs\, White Supremacy\, and Miseducation at UC Berkeley (2023\, 2025). Platt’s investigation into the university’s despicable hoarding of ancestral remains and cultural artifacts led him to a wider and deeper exploration of the university’s origins and development: its active participation in the dispossession of Native homelands and its significant role in the violence of conquest; the dominant influence of private wealth on the university’s governance\, then and now; the centrality of militarism in Cal’s DNA\, from the Indian Wars to Hiroshima and beyond; and the production of knowledge in textbooks\, popular narratives\, and public history that legitimated a racialized “California Story.” \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Tony Platt\, author\, historian\, and Distinguished Affiliated Scholar at UC Berkeley’s Center for the Study of Law and Society \nTo register or for more information\, click here. \n

SUMMARY:Refusing Settler Domesticity: Native Women’s Labor and Resistance in the Bay Area Outing Program
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Book Club of California \nIn the early twentieth century\, the Bay Area Outing Program coercively recruited over a thousand Native girls and women from boarding schools to labor as live-in domestic workers across the San Francisco Bay Area. In exchange for room\, board\, and meager pay\, Native women and girls as young as twelve cooked\, cleaned\, and lived in the homes of their employers. Despite oppressive living and working conditions\, they strategically resisted the worst aspects of outing\, including Indian child removal\, sexual surveillance\, criminalization\, and exploitation. Throughout\, they forged social connections and navigated relationships to refuse domestication and assert their agency. \nIn this groundbreaking work\, historian Caitlin Keliiaa examines Native women’s lived experiences of federal policy and connects outing to the region’s longer history of coerced Native labor. Refusing Settler Domesticity explores the unexpected story of Native women in the Bay Area\, decades before Indian Relocation\, illuminating the women who helped shape the Bay Area Indian community as we know it today. \nAn in-person and virtual presentation by Caitlin Keliiaa\, author\, historian\, and Assistant Professor of Feminist Studies at UC Santa Cruz \nTo register\, or for more information\, click here.

SUMMARY:Collecting Shakespeare's First Folio in America
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Grolier Club \nThis talk by David Alan Richards\, Grolier Club member (and former Council member)\, will cover centuries of Shakespeare’s First Folios arriving in America. The first made its way to Boston in 1791\, and the first offered by an American book dealer was at Astor House on Broadway in 1847. By the turn of the 20th century\, the two greatest assemblers of Shakespeariana\, Alexander Cochran who founded the Elizabethan Club in New Haven\, and Henry Clay Folger\, who founded the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington\, D.C.\, collectors and rivals\, revolutionized the worlds of book collecting and Bardolatry before the First World War. They established the national dominance in the holdings of First Folios in the United States today. \nDavid Alan Richards is the world’s largest collector of the books and manuscripts of Rudyard Kipling. He has served on the Grolier Club’s Council (2003-2009\, 2011-2020) and chaired numerous club committees. Topics of his exhibitions and books include Kipling\, Yale’s library\, and Yale’s secret societies\, and his board service for nonprofit organizations includes his current term as President of the London-based Kipling Society. \nRegistration: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/virtual-lecture-collecting-shakespeares-first-folio-in-america-tickets-1661301801409?aff=ebemoffollowpublishemail&ref=eemail&utm_campaign=following_published_event&utm_content=follow_notification&utm_medium=email&utm_source=eventbrite \nIf you are a Grolier Club member\, please register yourself and your guests via the Club website.
