Obscura Society LA and Field Agent Robert Hemedes have organized a private, docent led tour of one of my favorite literary treasures in southern California – the William Andrews Clark Library. As I wrote in my blog post about the library back in October of 2010, “the library is managed by UCLA’s Center for 17th- and 18th-Century Studies and is home to approximately 110,000 rare books, manuscripts and other documents comprising four core collections, including English literature and history (1641 – 1800), Oscar Wilde, fine printing and the history of Montana and the West.”
Whether you’re a bibliophile, a lover of historic buildings, or a LA history buff, you won’t want to miss this tour. I think you’ll be as captivated as I was when I first visited this little known gem in the West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles.
