LA Weekly 1978-2018 As we continue our exploration of Los Angeles and its cultural backstory, we've acquired an enviable collection of LA Weekly magazine. And while the weekly is drastically less impressive today (thanks to some unfortunate changes in leadership), the importance in mining its vast history cannot be overlooked.



Our collection barely dents the forty year time span, and much like our Los Angeles Free Press collection, the focus is on film and music. It's a nostalgic look back at midnight movies at the Nuart, shopping for antique robes at Flip on Melrose, and seeing bands with funny names at Madame Wong's in Chinatown.

Los Angeles Free Press L.A.'s legendary underground newspaper gets a thorough examination here. We've compiled a number of issues between 1966 and 1976, providing insightful essays on film, music and places of interest.



Offering a vast amount of historical significance, these issues shed a fascinating light from the days of KRLA and KMET, the Troubadour and the Whisky, Cinematheque-16 and psychedelic coffee shops along Fairfax Avenue.
