Also found in this report is detailed data on the armament of these works for the years 1861-1900. To secure documentary information to assist restoration architects to restore or stabilize Fort Point, Battery East, and the De Russy and Elliot Seawalls several hundred feet of manuscript of manuscript materials at the National Archives, the San Francisco Records Center, the Sixth Army Reference Library, and elsewhere, were examined.
