The intent of the LA as Subject database is to identify privately and publicly held archives and collections that document aspects of Los Angeles life and history which have been underrepresented in the past due to social, economic, and cultural barriers. These collections are increasingly recognized by scholars and community historians for their importance as narratives that represent crucial chapters in Los Angeles history. The LA as Subject database provides an online directory of these archives and collections. With your participation, this directory will be continually growing to constitute a unique multiethnic and transnational resource which identifies cultural materials that are accessible to local communities, scholars, and students to produce new interpretations, research, and scholarship about Los Angeles. Please complete the submittal form below. The information you provide will be a valuable contribution to the LA as Subject database.
