Los Angeles historical newspaper photographs archive

If you are as yet unaware of the many digital repository sites online, you are missing out on millions of photos, ephemera, oral histories, and more from all over the world.  One of the sites I like best, both for content and usability, is the UCLA historical archive of news photographs from the  Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Daily News.  The thousands of photos go back to the early part of this century and are amazingly diverse in their subject coverage.  Below is a 1980 photo from the collection showing a line outside a theater at the opening of The Empire Strikes Back.  See?  Diverse :)  UCLA has other digital collections as well that are well worth checking out.
