Harry Chandler (1864-1944) was born in New Hampshire and moved permanently to Los Angeles in 1885. He worked as a clerk in the circulation department of the Los Angeles Times, as well as delivering papers. He married Ruth Chandler in 1894, two years after his first wife died. Chandler continued to advance at the newspaper and in 1914, Harrison Gray Otis declared his plan to give Chandler and his wife full control fo the Los Angeles Times upon his death. Chandler was publisher of the Los Angeles times from 1917-1944. Intensely protective of his legacy, Chandler had much of his material destroyed upon his death. Series includes reference files, arranged alphabetically by author/subject. Facsimiles may not be copied or published. Date range is 1894-1979.
