Archive of Archives

LA as Subject is an interesting conglomeration of libraries, archives, and other collections of materials which contain documents and artifacts related to the history of the Southern California area. The group is in the process of creating a database of facilities which house this valuable and often one-0f-a-kind material. On October 23, they're planning an archives bazaar from 10 am to 5 pm with exhibits of local historical collections as well as speakers. The event will take place at the Doheny Memorial Library on the USC campus
