Reprints & Publications

Manuscripts

This series includes original newspaper editions, special publications, administrative materials related to reprinting articles in other publications, supplements, artwork, and illustrations. The series is organized by title and genre. Starting as early as 1885, the Los Angeles Times included special sections, magazines, and advertising supplements. These were often printed like a magazine (with sheets folded on the left side like a book). In the 1980s, the Los Angeles Times Magazine was the first time a supplement was printed on glossy magazine-style paper. The Times also published packets of articles and editorials, which were then shipped to prominent persons in business and politics. Also produced were student editions of the newspaper, indices, style guides, and internal newsletters. The Times opinion polls, which were performed to provide information for Times staff is also part of this series. Also included in this series are illustrations and artwork created for the Times, including works by Paul Conrad, Charles Dana Gibson, Harlan Kirby, and Charles Owens; editorial cartoons by other artists; and drawings of men and women which served as illustrations to articles. The sub-series Newspapers from the Times History Center contains selected editions of original Times newspapers in oversize boxes. There are also original copies of The Mirror newspaper and several other newspapers.
