TODCO Group has an extensive archive of one-of-a-kind materials that we need to catalogue into a searchable database. The original materials span the 30-year history of the Yerba Buena Redevelopment project’s development and community litigation. Much of this story is in Chester Hartman’s book “Yerba Buena: Land Grab and Community Resistance in San Francisco,” but no one has the extensive, original materials that we have. Many of these items are not available in digital form, and are an important part of the history of the neighborhood. For Planning or Policy students, there could be a fabulous opportunity to do your own independent paper based on these unique materials.

Attention to detail is a must. Experience with archiving, database creation and management preferred. Interest in community building, planning and development history, and the SOMA neighborhood a plus.

The TODCO Group is the nonprofit community development corporation for San Francisco’s dynamic South of Market Neighborhood. For 40 years we have been fully engaged in SOMA’s many Civic/ urban/ social/ economic planning issues and initiatives. Our summary Mission Statement is: South of Market Neighborhood Builders.
