Archive / Collection information
The Polytechnic School Archives document a microcosm of a private school's activities for the past 100+ years relating, for instance, school life during WWI and WWII, the Cold War, etc., and the 1918 flu pandemic. The collection includes 60 file drawers, 30 shelves, and 50+ boxes of records. In many ways the collections relate to historical LA and Southern California.
