A unique newspaper index database on CD with over 560,000 listings of individuals participating in Irish Societies in San Francisco from 1849 - 1927.
An invaluable shortcut for researchers of individuals, Irish Societies, or successful Irish voluntarism in early San Francisco. The Wrindex is an index of early San Francisco newspapers and other historical publications, referencing over 560,000 names and over 2,300 Irish societies. It can be searched by a person’s name or a society name; giving the researcher each mention of the name found, the society concerned, a brief listing of the activity which generated a mention in a publication, and the name and date of the source material where the complete article exists. There are two ways you can explore The Wrindex database for your research: you can purchase a version of The Wrindex on CD. Or, you can contact us and we can do a search for you. The Wrindex database is available in two different formats: The Wrindex CD is for users who have Access ® database software already installed on their computer (this version will optimize your research if you know how to do custom queries in Access), and the second version, called the Early San Francisco Newspaper Index, is for users who do not have Access software - it will run on any PC with Windows® 98 or better, and it has been programmed for an easy one-step searching process. Both versions pull from the same original database. See our ordering page for more info.
