General files under counties contain scenes of unincorporated areas or places that are identified only by the county. Includes images of types of establishments (Stanford University fraternities, etc.), specific buildings and structures (Hearst Mining Building, University of California, Berkeley or Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, etc.), as well as photographs of well known events such as fires or earthquakes (Santa Rosa or San Jose, 1906, etc.) and local celebrations, fairs and parades, etc. (Vallejo's 1893 Veteran Volunteer Fire Department Parade, etc.).
