Los Angeles Times records

Description

Originally maintained as the Los Angeles Times History Center, the Los Angeles Times Records contains documents and objects related to the business life of the Los Angeles Times and its owners - both corporate and personal. Every attempt was made to retain the organization created by the History Center. The business material is roughly organized by Times department; research material collected by the History Center to document the Times and the Otis/Chandler families is organized by subject. The records include accounting forms, legal documents, correspondence, directories, memoranda, reprints of articles, supplements to the newspaper, manuscripts, oral history transcripts, ephemera, newspaper clippings, and objects. The collection does not contain a complete run of the employee magazine Among Ourselves, however, there may be scattered issues throughout employee files.

The collection includes a significant amount of audio-visual material, including photographs, film, and audio tapes. There is also a small sampling of printed newspapers.
