Gil Garcetti Papers

Manuscripts

The papers of former Los Angeles County district attorney Gil Garcetti (1941-) includes mainly records that document his managerial and campaign activities in the nation's largest local prosecutorial office. The bulk of the papers contain administrative files created during Garcetti's tenure as district attorney from 1992 to 2000. These files consist of correspondence, budget, statistics, speeches, notes, press releases, schedule and calendars, recommendations, reports, and photographs. Many of these documents reflect Garcetti's focus on prosecution of domestic violence, fraud, gang violence, and child-support violations, as well as on crime prevention initiatives, such as Strategy Against Gang Environments program (SAGE) and SAFE WAY OUT family violence hotline. Another significant part of the Garcetti papers is his campaign files from the Los Angeles County district attorney elections in 1992, 1996, and 2000, which include bills, research, polls, debate notes, ephemera, and press clippings. The papers also contain case files, DDA interview notes, and reports from 1984 to 1991, during which Garcetti served as district attorney Ira Reiner's chief deputy and subsequently head deputy of the Torrance branch. The rest of the papers include audiovisual materials, awards, and memorabilia. Series I consists of documents created and collected during Garcetti's tenure as Los Angeles County district attorney. They include bills, correspondence, notebooks, schedules, legislative reports, press clippings, speeches, and statistics. Series II contains records related to Garcetti's campaigns during the 1992, 1996, and 2000 district attorney's elections. They include press clippings, ephemera, fundraising plans, polls, debate preparations, audiovisual materials, and electronic resources. Series III consists of mainly notebooks created during Garcetti's time as chief deputy district attorney from 1984 to 1988 and as head deputy of the Torrance branch from 1988 to 1992. Series IV consists of videocassettes created and collected during Garcetti's tenure as district attorney. Some topics include campaign advertisements, press conferences, interviews, and news coverage. The videocassettes are unavailable until they have been reformatted. Series V is comprised of personal files, awards, and memorabilia.
