Film-related tours

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

The Los Angeles Conservancy offers a popular architectural walking tour of the Broadway Historic Theatre District on Saturday mornings. On November 9, the Conservancy is also offering a special one-day tour called “L.A. NOIR-chitecture: A hard-boiled tour through the historic city.” Information can be found on the Conservancy website.

Patrons interested in theaters featured on the Broadway tour can consult the Conservancy’s walking tour brochure (Arts Library Reference NA6846.U62L675 1992), and the book The Last Remaining Seats: Movie Palaces of Tinseltown (Arts Library Reference NA6846.U62L573 2004).

New film and television research guide

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

This year, the UCLA Library is trying out new subject guide software called Libguides. As of October, I’ve put together a Film and Television research guide, and a specific course guide for F/TV 106C. These guides will be developed further, and a course guide for 106A is also underway. Please let me know if you have suggestions for additions to the guide, or would like to request a course guide.

A new guide for Theater researchers is also forthcoming!
