Manuscripts
The papers of former Los Angeles County district attorney Gil Garcetti (1941-) includes mainly records that document his managerial and campaign activities in the nation's largest local prosecutorial office. The bulk of the papers contain administrative files created during Garcetti's tenure as district attorney from 1992 to 2000. These files consist of correspondence, budget, statistics, speeches, notes, press releases, schedule and calendars, recommendations, reports, and photographs. Many of these documents reflect Garcetti's focus on prosecution of domestic violence, fraud, gang violence, and child-support violations, as well as on crime prevention initiatives, such as Strategy Against Gang Environments program (SAGE) and SAFE WAY OUT family violence hotline. Another significant part of the Garcetti papers is his campaign files from the Los Angeles County district attorney elections in 1992, 1996, and 2000, which include bills, research, polls, debate notes, ephemera, and press clippings. The papers also contain case files, DDA interview notes, and reports from 1984 to 1991, during which Garcetti served as district attorney Ira Reiner's chief deputy and subsequently head deputy of the Torrance branch. The rest of the papers include audiovisual materials, awards, and memorabilia.

Slate Pictures
Visual Materials
Five booklets of bound drawing cards published by L. Prang & Co., Boston (of which three are copyright 1863). These are entitled "Slate Pictures: Drawing School for Beginners," numbered 2 (2 copies), 4, and 6. The fifth booklet is entitled "Slate Pictures for the useful selfemployment [sic] of young children" and is numbered "II." While the first three booklets were clearly published by Prang, the fourth has no date and no manufacturer, and may be a European import. The images in the booklets, all are white on a black background, simulating drawing on slate with chalk, and depict a variety of items and scenes including tools, weapons, landscapes, people, and animals. There are numerous pencil markings on the booklets.
