Fun with LA photo archive
November 2, 1969, Los Angeles
I know I’m one of many LA bloggers drooling over all of the photos in the easily searchable UCLA Library Digital Collection Changing Times: Los Angeles in Photographs, 1920-1990. The photos are easy to search through a keyword in captions and/or titles and subjects. They’re also CC licensed — perfect for bloggers! — so that you can share the photos in non-commerical use and remix to make a derivative work.
I immediately started searching for photos of the Chicano Movement, and found some pretty cool photos. My favorite was the one above, but I’ve included some other interesting ones in a set on Flickr.
Hat tip: LA Observed

I’m so glad I came by your blog and found this archive! I’ve accidently used it when searching for images to use when I teach but I didn’t know it was searchable. Love the image you posted, too.
Wow, mil gracias for the tip.
Thanks for the great tip. I will definitely check it out. LA Observed is a good blog and resource.
I was looking for a picture of Oscar Zeta-Acosta, but was disappointed. It remains a great resource, though.
He is aware? Why not she?
Because a Chicana would scare the gabachos even less than an aware Chicano…just doesn’t have the ring that Chicano does.
I kid, I kid…
