The California State Library seeks to make researchers and members of the general public aware of its wide variety of holdings concerning the Los Angeles region and to encourage their use. Though physically located in Northern California, the Library seeks to meet its statewide mission by serving users' needs via research and references services, interlibrary loan, and its ongoing digitization program.
The California History Section of the California State Library is a participant in the LAAS and ONE Archives Hidden Histories project.
