Genzoli worked most of his life writing for newspapers beginning at age 14 when he covered the town of Ferndale and its high school for the Humboldt Standard newspaper. He spent 30 years on the staff of the Eureka Times-Standard daily newspaper before his retirement in 1979. Considered an authority on Humboldt County history, Genzoli was reported to be the first to publish articles on the Bigfoot legend. He wrote several books on local history and was active in the California Historical Resources Commission and served as president of the Humboldt County Historical Society. Some material from the collection, including the Seth Kinman manuscript, has been processed and is available in the Humboldt Room.
Further access is on a limited, appointment basis.
