SAN BRUNO, California — The National Archives at San Francisco, the only Northern California location hosting National Archives records, is planned for closure within the next few years, raising the possibility that historic Bay Area and regional records could be relocated.
The facility is located in San Bruno at the Leo J. Ryan Memorial Federal Building, also known as the Leo J. Ryan Memorial Federal Archives and Records Center, at 1000 Commodore Drive. Local News Matters reported that it holds more than 75,000 cubic feet of historical records dating back to the 1850s.
According to a news release from the advocacy group Save Our National Archives, the San Bruno facility and a National Archives site in Chicago are planned to shutter within three years. The group said the moving process could begin as soon as August.
