This web site has been created in conjunction with an exhibition at Fisher Gallery titled "LA Obscura: The Architectural Photography of Julius Shulman," curated by the 1999 Museum Studies class at the University of Southern California. More than just an electronic archive of the show, this site is an integral component of the exhibition and accompanying catalogue by virtue of its dynamic and interactive format. In addition to offering an extensive selection of Shulman's images as well as abstracts of the catalogue essays, there is a wealth of additional information that offers opportunities for further research into the unique architectural landscape of Los Angeles during the middle of this century. The links include a site map for buildings still extant in Los Angeles, biographical information about the architects, and resources for local architectural and conservation organizations.
 
The exhibition at Fisher Gallery and this web site are part of an ongoing collaboration among Julius Shulman, the USC School of Architecture, the USC Architecture and Fine Arts Library and the USC Integrated Digital Archive. As a result of this significant collaboration, Shulman's work will be available for study well after the turn of the millennium.
