Los Angeles Athletic Club photograph collection
Visual Materials
This collection contains photographs of the members and grounds of the Southern California beach and golf clubs that formed part of the Los Angeles Athletic Club in the late 1920s and early 1930s. The clubs represented are the Santa Monica Athletic Club and Deauville Club (Items 1-16 and 74-83, 65-98); the Hermosa Beach Surf and Sand Club (Items 17-55, and 84); the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades (Items 56-65); and the Long Beach Pacific Coast Club (Items 66-73). The photographs, presumably created as promotional images, include images depicting clubhouse buildings and rooms, as well as members engaged in leisure activities such as sunbathing, swimming, beach volleyball, and golf. Nearly half of the photographs are close-up shots of beach-goers, often young women posing in swimsuits. One set of images depicts women in bathing suits posing for a 1932 Santa Monica Athletic Club fashion show, include two photographs of child actress Shirley Temple (Items 97-98). The items consist of 98 8 x 10 in. black-and-white copy prints with corresponding film negatives, as well as an additional box containing approximately 70 unidentified/unprinted negatives and 1 reel of 16mm film labeled "Jess Willard & strong man, LAAC roof 1933."
