L.A. Neighborhoods Project


Beginning in 1996, Photo Friends supported the L.A. Neignborhoods project by commissioning photographers to create a visual record of the neighborhoods of Los Angeles during the early part of the 21st century. Initial funding of the project was provided by a grant from the Ralph M. Parsons Foundation through the Library Foundation of Los Angeles. Documentary photographs collected from this project are now part of the Library’s Photograph Collection.

Below is a list of the photographers who participated in the project and the neighborhoods they documented:
