Library History Round Table Report
Submitted by Cindy Mediavilla, LHRT Chair
CLA's Library History Round Table (LHRT) held its mid-year meeting, April 30, at the Southwestern University Law Library. Upcoming conference activities, including a proposed bus tour of the Autry and Southwest museums, Charles Lummis house, and San Fernando mission archives, were discussed. Progress was also reported on the compilation of an unprecedented bibliography of articles related to California library history. The highlight of the meeting was a tour of the law library, which is housed in the former Bullocks Wilshire department store, one of the most famous art deco architectural landmarks of Los Angeles. The university purchased and refurbished the building in the mid-1990s. What a thrill to view this glorious building, which is usually closed to the public! Many thanks to Southwestern reference librarian and LHRT member David McFadden for providing the tour.
