LA Aqueduct Digital Platform series: 100 mules will make you mull over Los Angeles' past, present, and future

By UCLA Library on Thu, 2014-07-24 03:14

What’s the difference between a mule and a donkey? That was the first question I asked myself when I started working as an oral interview scholar at the Center for Primary Research and Training (CFPRT). You see, I am very much the urban dweller. Born and raised in Los Angeles, the only animal I had ever ridden was a wooden horse on the carousel at the Santa Monica pier. My partiality for cities goes so deep that I even decided to study urban planning at UCLA. Now, not only do I know the answer to that question (a mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse), but I may also get the opportunity to interview some of the finest mule packers in the Owens Valley and maybe even meet a mule or two (fingers crossed). You may be asking yourself why an urban planning student is excited about the opportunity to meet mules and their wranglers. Well, mules were critical to the development of the American West and particularly to the construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct, which supplied the city with vital water supply from the Owens Valley. A cast of mules recently starred in One Hundred Mules Walking the Los Angeles Aqueduct. Last fall, artist Lauren Bon and the Metabolic Studio commemorated the centenary of the opening of the Los Angeles Aqueduct by walking 100 mules the length of the Aqueduct. The 240-mile journey began south of Bishop at the aqueduct’s intake and lasted 27 days before culminating at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Griffith Park.

One Hundred Mules Walking the Los Angeles Aqueduct is part of a series of artists’ actions planned by Bon and the Metabolic Studio to help reinvent Los Angeles’ relationship with water. By walking the length of the Aqueduct, the team was able to physically draw the line between Los Angeles and its distant and dwindling water supply in the Owens Valley. The project also pays homage to the contributions of equine labor and the Owens Valley to Los Angeles’ development. One of my tasks at CFPRT is to interview participants in the One Hundred Mule march. The recordings of these interviews will then be made available to students, educators, and the general public on the Los Angeles Aqueduct Digital Platform. The CFPRT has provided me with both the technical training and the creative freedom to complete my project. In my time with CFPRT, I have been trained to conduct human subject research, helped to submit my first research proposal to the Institutional Review Board (IRB), researched oral histories and focus group methodologies, and gained a whole new appreciation for mules and the Owens Valley. In the coming weeks I will facilitate short-form group interviews, edit and transcribe audio recordings, and experiment with various digital tools. Stay tuned for updates on my project. I will make sure to post a picture of my first mule encounter! By Mark Friedlander

LA Aqueduct Digital Platform series: Digging into the Friends of the LA River archive

By UCLA Library on Thu, 2014-07-10 06:19

I’m a processing assistant for the Los Angeles Aqueduct Digital Platform project at UCLA Library Special Collections’ Center for Primary Research and Training. Over the summer, I’ll be working with Diane Ward, a graduate student in Geography who will process and create description for the Friends of the Los Angeles River records. FoLAR is an environmental organization working to restore the LA River and its habitat and educate people about the river’s importance. In my work, I’ll digitize documents, do risk analysis, and work on metadata, as well as make the occasional post here.

I’m an undergraduate minoring in conservation biology, so I’m excited to be involved with this project. For my minor, I’m learning about ecology and evolution, as well as ways to conserve and preserve the environment. The FoLAR records show how people might apply concepts covered in my classes, so this project is a great opportunity for me to see how what I’m learning can effect change in the world.

During our initial survey of the collection, we found a few items that stood out from the rest: LA River postcards from 1915-1920, photos from the early 1930s, and two railroad spikes, which appear to have been found during a river cleanup. The photos and postcards were unexpected finds that showed a very different LA River than the one we're used to seeing, and it was exciting to happen upon these pieces of history. The railroad spikes were a different kind of surprise. We knew the box they were in contained items found during a river cleanup, but we didn’t know exactly what that might mean. FoLAR has found a variety of things during cleanups. Anything was possible. I don’t know what I was expecting to find in that box, but a pair of railroad spikes wasn’t it.

Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education Records Processing Project

By Megan Fraser on Wed, 2012-08-22 04:16

UCLA Library Special Collections acquired the records of the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education in 2011, and since then our staff has been working to process this large and significant collection so that researchers can begin to use it.

Portions of the collection will be open to the public soon, but in the meantime, we wanted to offer a glimpse behind the scenes to give an idea of the project's scope.

The records span more than one thousand linear feet of shelf space. (For comparison, the Los Angeles City Hall building is 454 feet high.) They are stored at a warehouse near downtown, and, unusually for our department,  processing is taking place there rather than on campus. Project archivist Kelly Besser, a former LAUSD teacher and Center for Primary Research and Training alum, has been arranging, describing and rehousing the records since January 2012. Project assistant Alyssa Loera joined her in May 2012.

Most of the records were stored in file cases in storage lockers.

Records stored in file cases in storage lockers.

Other formats included large ledger volumes of Board meeting minutes.

A large portion of the file cases hold what the Board called "Subject Files," and include supporting documents regarding their actions, such as publications, letters, catalogs, lists, and photographs. Readers might not be surprised to learn that one of the first subject files that caught our attention was marked "Library."

Slip that says "Library-- Request for public action"

Out of the box, the contents looked like this and included catalogs of books, reports on elementary school libraries, and letters regarding censorship of books.

Shown below is a 1973 letter from a student's parent objecting to Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger being assigned reading in an American Literature class. The parent finds the "profanity and gutter language... enough to shock some adults." He goes on to say that "We shouldn't be shocked at 'Watergate' when things like this are being taught and advocated in our public schools." Items such as this give us a sense of the matters of concern for students, parents, teachers and the Board.

The collection is a rich trove documenting Board decisions, large and small, that had profound impacts on Los Angeles. Please check back often for more updates on our progress with these important records. Update: A draft of the finding aid for the collection is now available through the Online Archive of California.

Mysterious "twins" go for a "pizza run"

By Megan Fraser on Tue, 2012-01-24 07:44

By Yasmin Damshenas, Center for Primary Research and Training

Just about anyone who has been part of a third-grade class, a soccer team, or a debate club remembers the drill. Everyone lines up by height, gets herded into rows, balances precariously on risers or squats low—all to produce the sort of group photo that sometimes ends up in the archives. In 1843 Austrian Joseph Puchberger became one of the first people to figure out how to make a panoramic camera work. While much of the resulting technology was focused on vistas and landscapes, reproducing the feeling of "being there," another use emerged: the panoramic group photograph; the cinemascope of group photos. To cover the most sweeping degree of vision, the rotating panoramic camera was developed, allowing the camera to pan across an image, take a timed exposure and record a larger field. One of the first rotating panoramic cameras was the hand-cranked Cirkut camera. I recently unrolled a Cirkut photograph about 32" long while processing the John W. Fisher Papers. It was a group photograph of attendees of the 25th Annual Convention of California Building - Loan League, taken in the spring of 1930 at the Hotel del Coronado near San Diego.

In the sea of three-piece suits and cloche hats, we noticed something odd. The men standing at either end of the photograph looked strikingly similar.

These were either twins who liked dressing alike after the age of 8 or some other explanation was at play... After some discussion and Googling (and making up some elaborate stories along the way), we concluded that this Cirkut photo is an excellent example of the photographer's trick now known as the "pizza run." As the camera panned from one end of the group to the other, anyone standing at the far end where the photograph began being taken could (if their timing was right) run and take their place on the opposite side just as the camera completed panning. A recreation of the process by staff at the Library of Congress can be found here, should you ever want to plan a pizza run of your own.

Reducing the backlog, three boxes at a time

By Megan Fraser on Tue, 2011-10-25 03:47

In the summer of 2011, graduate students in the Center for Primary Research and Training embarked on a project to reduce the department’s backlog of partially processed collections and make them available to the public for research.
