The Cow Hollow Improvement Club records consists of a brief history, correspondence, minutes, reports, membership lists, court cases and newspaper clippings depicting the activities of the Club since the 1940's. Included are several zoning reports and maps.

The Cow Hollow Improvement Club records document the activities of one of San Francisco's well known neighborhood associations. Residents of the area founded the organization in 1946 in order to advance and promote their neighborhood, as well as improve the welfare of the City of San Francisco. With both a sense of history and humor, the members choose the name Cow Hollow in honor of the farms which once overlooked the hillside. Within a short time, the Club boasted a membership of over thirty-two families within the district boarded by Lyon to the west; Pierce to the east; Filbert to the north; and, Pacific to the south.
