Sample some of the available books at the history and geneology department of the L.A. central library. There is a very impressive collection of California history. They also have a rare treasure- several historic Sanborn Fire Insurance Atlases. These oversized volumes show the locations and uses of, and construction information on, buildings in the central city for several years in the early decades of the 20th century. They are a very interesting bit of history, probably unavailable anywhere else.
