UCLA Collection of Los Angeles Times Photos
Between 1920 and 1990 the Los Angeles Times and Los Angeles Daily News took over three million photos. The UCLA Charles E. Young Research Library Department of Special Collections has selected and digitized 5,746 of these and put them online.
They provide a fascinating insight into change and how different things were twenty, fifty, or nearly 100 years ago. You can browse by subject or by keyword. For example the keyword speed produced 17 photos ranging from race cars in 1927, policewoman training in 1946, a hand-held radar demo in 1976 and so on.
