UCLA Catalog Record ID UCLA Catalog Record ID: 5743132 Biography Charles C. Pierce (1861-1946) was a pioneer Los Angeles photographer. He came to Los Angeles in 1886 from Chicago due to health issues and remained until his death in 1946. Along with two other photographers who accompanied him, he began to document the people and architecture of the area. Pierce also became a collector and dealer in historical photographs of Los Angeles and the surrounding vicinity and he assembled a pictorial record of most of the important civic, commercial, and social events which occurred during the half century after his arrival. Library Special Collections acquired the account books for 1909 to 1921 of C.C. Pierce's photographic shop in Los Angeles. The large manuscript ledgers in eight volumes give a detailed listing of his customers and the nature of his business. The Library obtained, in addition to the account books, glass plates and film negatives, some of which are accompanied by prints, of portraits and views taken during the early years of the 20th century. Most are of Southern California scenes -- Los Angeles is well represented with views of downtown streets, commercial and civic buildings, and residential areas. Scope and Content Collection consists of historic negatives and prints, mainly Los Angeles but also of the surrounding vicinity. Organization and Arrangement Arranged in the following series: 1.

  • The Kite-Shaped Track.”
    City of San Bernardino Historical and Pioneer Society P.O. Box 875, San Bernardino, CA 92402 LIBRARY NEWS OCTOBER 2011 By Richard D. Thompson, Librarian Following is the second article by Mark Landis, freelance writer for the San Bernardino Sun. As in the case of last month’s story, this feature has pictures he submitted to the Sun that did not make it into the newspaper. “No Scene Twice Seen” On The Santa Fe Railroad’s Splendid “Kite-Shaped Track” Excursion By Mark Landis, Correspondent N the days of the great westward migration of the late 1800’s, California was promoted with splendid images and accounts that frequently exaggerated the truth. Southern California’s mild climate and diverse landscapes were regularly touted as a virtual paradise by land developers, business promoters, and especially the railroads. The railroads were the main beneficiary of the westward movement since they owned huge tracts of land and provided transportation for the migrants and their new products. In 1892, the Santa Fe Railroad began promoting the real beauty and diversity of Southern California with a special tourist route they called “The Kite-Shaped Track.” From the collection of Lee Gustafson Relief map from a Santa Fe brochure showing the route of the Kite-Shaped Track 84 The “Kite” name comes from a figure-eight style horse racing track that was popular during the era. A map of the Kite Track route looks something like an elongated figure-eight, lying horizontally. The small end of the “eight” was at the eastern end of the route known as “the Loop.” The station at San Bernardino was at the crossing of the figure eight and was the beginning and end of “the Loop.” Originally called “The Belt Line,” the Southern California Railway (owned by the Santa Fe) began operating the 166-mile tourist route in January of 1892.

    Division 20 Portal Widening/Turnback Facility Project Draft EIR 3.3 Cultural Resources 3.3. CULTURAL RESOURCES This section identifies cultural and paleontological resources present within the Project Site, evaluates the potential project-related impacts on those resources, and provides mitigation measures, as applicable. The information provided herein is based on the results and recommendations contained in Appendix C Historic Resources Technical Memoranda, which includes the Historic Resources Technical Memorandum (C.1), Archaeological Resources Technical Memorandum (C.2), and Paleontological Resources Technical Memorandum (C.3). These appendix files include extensive sourcing and referencing of information used in this section. 3.3.1. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK Cultural and paleontological resources fall within the jurisdiction of several levels of government. The State and local jurisdictions provide the framework for the identification, documentation, and protection of such resources. CEQA, Section 5024 of the PRC, the City of Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Ordinance (Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 22.130), Section 7050.5 of the Health and Safety Code, and Section 5097.9 of the PRC are the primary laws that govern and affect the preservation of cultural resources of national, State, regional, and local significance. CEQA and Sections 5097.5 and 30244 of the PRC are the primary laws that govern the preservation of paleontological resources at the State level. 3.3.1.1. Federal National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) The National Park Service's NRHP is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America's historic and archeological resources.
