Newspaper article collection
While Zamantha was digging up Thomas Dougherty’s letters at the San Francisco Public Library, she also made copies of their collection of newspaper article clippings.
The collection contains an assortment of Zodiac-related articles from 1978 to 2009. Zamantha generously sent me a copy of the articles, and now you can view the entire collection online in Google Docs by clicking on this link.
