This is a link to a short 1998 article about photographer Richard Barnes, who chronicled the seismic retrofit and expansion of San Francisco's Palace of the Legion or Honor museum. Approximately 750 sets of human remains were exposed during the construction, as the museum was built on top of the site of Golden Gate Cemetery, also known as City Cemetery. Barnes appears in my film, along with images from his work at the site.

This is a link to a San Francisco Chronicle interview with Emmitt Watson, caretaker, tour guide, and groundskeeper for the San Francisco Columbarium. Watson also appears in A Second Final Rest.
