Many urban public library systems across the United States have accumulated large troves of paper ephemera over the years, and the Los Angeles Public Library system is no exception. Funded by a grant from the California State Library, the Fletcher Jones Foundation, and the John Randolph Haynes and Dora Haynes Foundation, the Electronic Neighborhood allows the internet-browsing public access to a number of these documents. The database located here includes a large collection of photographs documenting the city's development, a collection of restaurant menus, and an index to fiction works that take place in and around California. The photo database contains over 2.5 million archival records, and a number of thematic online photo exhibits, including ones that document the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics and golf in Hollywood. The menu database is particularly fascinating, as users can search for a number of restaurant menus from the past century. While not all of the records include scanned menu images, a number of them are already available, such as those from the now-defunct Brown Derby.
