Visual Materials
This collection contains seven volumes of photographs and text covering activities of the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services from 1930 to 1932. The Bureau of Housing and Bureau of Inspection are two of the divisions represented. The 457 photographs depict housing, schools, water supply, swimming pools, sewage disposal, dairy farms and milk plants, garbage and refuse disposal, and general sanitation, among other topics. Of particular interest is volume 1, documenting the "Hoovervilles" that sprang up throughout Los Angeles during the Great Depression. In contrast is the volume showcasing the state-of-the-art housing for Olympic athletes who were in Los Angeles for the Tenth Olympiad held in 1932. Titles of the volumes are: The Habitations of Unemployed in Los Angeles County, 1932 (volume 1); Activities of the Bureau of Inspection, 1932 (volume 2); Sewage Disposal Methods in Los Angeles County (volume 3); Picture Story of Milk in Los Angeles County (volume 4); Olympic Village, Los Angeles, 1932 (volume 5); Miscellaneous Scenes of Los Angeles County Department of Health Activities (volumes 6-7). Volume 4 was compiled by Richard A. Koch and volume 5 was compiled by C. G. Kahlert.
