Fourth Los Angeles Times Building Construction
Manuscripts
Construction files for the fourth Los Angeles Times building. This sub-series has been divided into two parts: The first is financial statements and construction vouchers from contractor P.J. Walker and architect Gordon P. Kaufmann. The second part is bid and contract files which detail the costs and specifications for every component of the building's construction. The bid and contract files, which include a substantial amount of correspondence and memoranda from H.E. Downing and Jacob Baum, were numbered and indexed at the time they were created. The numbering system is maintained in the current arrangement. Date range is 1928-1951.

B1.20 - Edison Building - 5th and Grand (1-66)
Visual Materials
The Southern California Edison collection of negatives and photographs consists of approximately 80,000 images created and acquired by the company from approximately 1883-1989, with the bulk of the collection covering 1910-1960. Formats include glass and film negatives, photo cards, loose photographs, photograph albums, lantern slides, and related materials. Most of the images were produced by Edison staff and contract photographers to document Edison facilities, products, operations, activities, and employees and for the purposes of education, advertising, training, and liability. The SCE collection offers a range of subjects far broader than the company's original intent. In addition to infrastructural images of transmission lines, steam plants, substations, equipment, vehicles, and hydroelectric plants, the company captured the uses of light and electricity in its myriad capacities, including night lighting of streets, billboards, storefronts, and gas stations; electric kitchens and appliances in domestic and industrial settings such as restaurants and cafes; agricultural innovations in the dairy and poultry industries; lighting for recreational uses such as swimming pools, bathhouses, tennis courts; golf courses; office work; and accident scenes and disasters, particularly the St. Francis Dam disaster of 1928.
