Archives fever
Last year I attended the 1st Annual Los Angeles Archives Bazaar at the Huntington Library. Although, at first glance, it may seem that an archives bazaar is not directly relevant to literature scholars, I strongly encourage you to consider attending this free event. You’ll find rare books, manuscripts,maps, film and television materials, music, images and more. Especially for scholars who are new to UCLA, it is a great opportunity to find out which institutions and repositories in the greater Los Angeles area hold materials relevant to your own research and teaching. Here is more information:
ARCHIVES FEVER: THE 2nd ANNUAL LOS ANGELES ARCHIVES BAZAAR
Students, teachers, historians, and local history enthusiasts will find a treasure trove of L.A. history at the 2nd Annual Los Angeles Archives Bazaar. Presented by L.A. as Subject, a research collective hosted by the USC Libraries, the Bazaar offers numerous resources for exploring the rich histories of L.A.’s diverse neighborhoods and communities and virtually any subject related to the Los Angeles region. Held at the Huntington Library, the Bazaar will feature exhibits by 41 local historical collections, museums, and archives. Attendees can browse collections, schedule research visits, and consult with experts. Throughout the day, educational programming will cover a range of topics from how to preserve your historical collection, family genealogy, to digital archives. FREE light lunch, refreshments, attendance, and parking.
