This massive collection from the University of Southern California's Digital Library brings together approximately 1.4 million prints and negatives from the Los Angeles Examiner newspaper. The paper shut down in 1962 when it merged with the afternoon Herald-Express. The collection is divided into two sub-collections: Prints and Negatives. Almost every major and minor event during the time period is represented here. Visitors can get started by browsing through a few suggested topics such as communism, divorces, adoption and orphans, and the Korean War. Visitors can also type in key geographical locales such as West Hollywood, Griffith Observatory, and Olvera Street to find a wide range of images.
