HIGHLIGHTS FROM DIVA - GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE

The Golden Gate Bridge has long stood as a local, national, an international symbol, but how much do you really know about it?  DIVA hosts numerous resources on the creation and history of the bridge, which recently celebrated the 77th Anniversary of its opening in 1937, as well as its impact on different communities and peoples.  Check out this 1962 documentary discussing the construction of the bridge and the enormous difficulties it encountered along the way, complete with archival footage and narration by the people involved in its creation.  You can also take a look at this video commemorating the bridge's 50th Anniversary that discusses its journey to becoming an international symbol and how it affected and continues to affect so many diverse people.  Don't forget to check out the SF Bay Area Television Archive for more videos and iconic images of the bridge, such as this one from the Henri Leleu Collection and this one from the Robert Cherny Collection.
