* Partial list based on documents in the National Archives; newspaper articles; private interviews; and correspondence. Only those keepers whose dates of service have been documented are included. A more complete list appears in the National Archives in Washington D.C. However, it is not available by mail. There are no records of those keepers who served after 1934, because the Coast Guard kept no permanent records of personnel at Heceta Head.
