Thank you to our member Alan Santana who saw a need and fulfilled it! OUR NEW SIGN. Wilmington branch library built in 1927. Put on the National Register of Historic Places by the Department of the Interior and a Los Angeles Historic Monument. Everyone needs to know that this is a historic building. A big thank you to Pierre at creative indulgence. He can make your imagination become a reality.

1) access what we had- put it all into the robinhood room of the library
2)prepared a skechup plan of our vision for the archives
3)uncovered some beautiful stamped concrete floors and had them polished
4) secured our collections in archival boxes
5) created a website and social media presence
The WHS raised the funding with the help of the and supporters. It took us a few years. but we did it because we believe this is a unique non profit that the community can utilize. Stay tuned for more...
