L.A. as Subject

L.A. as Subject An alliance of research archives, libraries, and private collectors dedicated to preserving the rich history of the Los Angeles region. L.A.

Hosted by the USC Libraries. as Subject is a research association dedicated to preserving and improving access to the raw material of Los Angeles history. Much of the city’s history is preserved in libraries, museums, and other cultural institutions. Other valuable and unique collections – those that reveal the stories of neighborhoods, families, and influential Angelenos – are scattered across So

uthern California, curated by smaller institutions and individual enthusiasts. With an online directory of more than 250 separate collections, L.A. as Subject ensures that researchers know what materials are available, where they are located, and how to access them. as Subject’s biggest undertaking is the annual Los Angeles Archives Bazaar, a congregation of members that brings their unique collections together into one place. The event allows scholars, researchers, archivists, librarians, students, and history enthusiasts to browse the broad collections of the alliance’s members. In addition to the annual Los Angeles Archives Bazaar, members also meet every two months at the Archives Forum. The meetings allow members to network with others in the profession and share best practices. Held in a different location each time, the Archives Forum allows participants to see how other members’ collections are organized and observe different preservation methods.
