| Just one room at the 2010 L.A. Archives Bazaar. And this year will be bigger! |
Are you interested in
Southern California history?
Of course you are! Otherwise, you wouldn't be reading this, right? So you need to check out the
Archives Bazaar at
USC's beautiful
Doheny Memorial Library, (3550 Trousdale Pkwy), this Saturday, Oct. 27th, 9am-5pm!
More than 80(!) historical archives, heritage organizations and special collections from around Southern California will be represented with booths, information, and experts who can answer your questions.
A variety of programs will also be held throughout the day, including a panel discussion on "
Southern California Ranchos and Homesteads" and talks on subjects like the
California Car Culture and "
Getting Started in Oral History." Admission is free, although parking is $10. This event is organized by
L.A. As Subject. (But organizations from outside L.A. will be there too.) For more information,
see their website.

| Banning Branch Library, Huntington Beach |
Some of you may remember my post last year about the
Banning Branch Library in
Huntington Beach (a.k.a. "
The Enchanted Tiki Library.") If you're interested, I've updated that story over on my other blog,
The Tiki Lagoon.
