Los Angeles Local Government Web Archive

Archived since: Jun, 2015

Description:

Contains archived websites documenting Los Angeles, one of the largest urban areas in the United States. This archive provides lasting access to the web sites of local Los Angeles government agencies and non-governmental organizations critical to the study of the Los Angeles area.

The websites of local government agencies are especially volatile as leadership changes (mayors, council members, supervisors, heads of agencies) or as time sensitive issues are no longer on agendas or in the news. Many organizations do not have the infrastructure to support long-term access or archiving of their materials. Another notable trend in the Los Angeles area are website redesigns which completely restructure and in many cases drop access to agencies publications.

This information while not distributed in print still holds immense social and research value, which we as memory institutions have an obligation to collect and preserve. By collecting and preserving this information the study of Los Angeles will be greatly enhanced.
