Preferred Citation [Box/folder# or item name], Elinor Oswald Collection of Southern California Tourism Ephemera, Collection no. 0007, Special Collections and University Archives, University Libraries, Pepperdine University. Immediate Source of Acquisition note The collection was given to Pepperdine University on October 9, 2009, by Jan Oswald, daughter of Elinor Oswald. Biographical note Elinor Byrne Scott Oswald was born about 1921 in New York to Holton H. and Agnes M. Scott. Elinor attended Vassar College where she studied art and graduated in 1942. On April 24, 1943, she married Telford Oswald, an army veteran and Stanford University graduate. In 1945, Elinor and her husband moved to Southern California settling in Altadena, while Telford earned a PhD in aerospace engineering from the California Institute of Technology. In the 1950s, the family moved to Pacific Palisades where Elinor put her art knowledge to good use by volunteering in the docent programs at such places as the Norton Simon Museum, the J. Paul Getty Museum, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). In fact, Elinor helped establish the docent program at LACMA when it opened in 1961. Other organizations that Elinor was involved in include the Los Angeles Junior League Sustainers and the UCLA University Religious Conference. In 1971, Elinor began leading small groups of Angelino's on walking tours around the city; an idea that had not yet been tried in the area but had done well in similarly sized cities such as Boston and New York City. This model proved to be quite successful and Elinor turned the venture into a business naming her company L.A. Today Custom Tours. Her business quickly grew and she began chartering buses to transport larger groups of clients around the city and its outlying areas. For the first five years, she focused her efforts on the confines of Los Angeles proper but eventually branched out to the San Gabriel Valley, Orange County, and San Diego. Always faithful to her alma mater, Elinor stayed in touch with Vassar College alum, and planned several reunion meetings in the Los Angeles area. She planned and organized stays at hotels like the Biltmore and led fellow Vassar graduates on tours of the city. Elinor found a great niche of clientele in the spouses of the many delegates that would flock to Los Angeles for conferences in their respective fields, such as the World Law Group, the American Society of Thoracic Surgeons, and even the Tupperware World Conference. While the professionals were attending the conference events, Elinor advertised her business to the assembly and offered tours of Los Angeles at group rates, which allowed her to reach an ever wider audience. On October 5, 1987, L.A. Today Custom Tours reached a new milestone when Elinor led her first out-of-state tour to the Grand Canyon. Shortly there after, she led her first international tour to New Zealand. She eventually led clients to such far away places as Massachusetts, Wyoming, France, and even China. Living the remainder of their lives together in Pacific Palisades, Telford passed away in 2009 after a prolonged illness, with Elinor following not long after. They are survived by their four children. Scope and Content The collection consists of ephemeral materials and clippings relating to Elinor Oswald's professional career as a tour guide. Materials range in date from 1968 to 2009, with the bulk of the collection from 1972 to 1995. Subjects cover a diverse array of Los Angeles and California history and pertain to local tourist attractions, museums, art galleries, local artists, parks,
0007 2 churches, gardens, and historical architecture in Southern California. Subjects also relate to specific local entities, such as: businesses; schools, colleges and universities; political parties; and associations, groups, and clubs. Additional records are associated specifically with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), The J. Paul Getty Museum, and the Norton Simon Museum. Included are lecture notes and handouts relating to the docent program at LACMA that Elinor helped establish. There are additional subject files related to Los Angeles and its history, travel outside of California, natural disasters, ethnic populations, gardens, architecture, and a vast array of other subjects Elinor used when creating her tours. Research files exist on artistic movements and styles through history and on local and internationally known artists and individuals. The range of ephemera includes magazine and newspaper clippings, brochures, art gallery and artist mailers, advertisements, exhibition catalogs, menus, maps, programs, fliers, souvenirs, photographs, negatives, slides, and commemorative materials.
