Los Angeles history comes alive at the 8th-annual Los Angeles Archives Bazaar. Organized by L.A. as Subject and presented by the USC Libraries, the annual event celebrates the diversity of Southern California’s history. For scholarly researchers, journalists, history buffs, and those simply interested in exploring the stories of Los Angeles, discovery awaits everyone at the Archives Bazaar. This event is free and open to the public.
The Archives Bazaar draws its strength from the breadth and variety of its participants’ collections. Large institutions will be represented at the bazaar along with smaller organizations and private collections whose materials fill the gaps left in the city’s official history. In all, more than 80 archives are expected to be represented.
A rich suite of programming complements the rare historical materials on display.

Join us in the cemetery under the full moon for the classic 80s horror masterpiece from director John Landis (Animal House, Thriller).
Wild dream sequences, creature effects, and stark, spooky camerawork make for a remarkably eerie mood. Landis masterfully weaves biting suspense and horrifying gore with a dry sense of humor, a combination that makes this one of the most fun, and scary, horror films of all times.
DJs Turquoise Wisdom and Elijah Wood (Wisdom Wood) spin before and after the screening.
