LA as Subject

The L.A. as Subject database is an on-line directory of less visible archives and collections in the Los Angeles region. It provides a cross-section of the varied cultural materials held by local institutions and community groups, large and small. It is intended not only to provide a key to specific archives and collections, but also to serve as a map for locating people, places, and the contributions of individuals and communities to the region's diverse and unique cultural heritage. Additional background information about L.A. as Subject can be found at Getty Research Institute where the project originated. USC plans to continue the development of LA as Subject, by adding new resouces to the database and linking to other repositories and sources of information on Los Angeles.
