Between the mid-1920s and 1963, James David Zellerbach (1892-1963), an avid home movie maker, filmed numerous home movies of the Zellerbach family, founders of the Zellerbach Paper Company. The films document the family's life in San Francisco and include a good deal of footage of the San Francisco landscape. Also documented in the films are family trips and leisure pursuits. This film reel includes footage of various Zellerbach family events that took place in 1929, including a yacht party on the Zellerbach yacht.
