Research Collection

IN A SHORT SPAN OF TIME, the Center has established one of the best archives in the nation.

The Research Collection promotes preservation and analysis of historical documents of public officials, post-World War II developers, late-twentieth-century Los Angeles reformers and reform movements, and prominent Catholic families. Holdings include a decade’s worth of the original program tapes of KCRW 89.9 FM’s Which Way LA?, as well as the papers of Rebuild LA, LEARN, LAAMP, Fritz Burns,and Mike Roos, to name just a few.

The Loyola Marymount University Library's Department of Archives and Special Collections administers the Research Collection. Unless otherwise noted, the collections are open by appointment to all interested researchers. For information on making an appointment, please refer to the hours and rules of the Department of Archives and Special Collections.
