Christopher Isherwood settled in Los Angeles in 1939 and would live there for the rest of his life. This was the definitive act in Isherwood's effort to reimagine himself, his spirituality, his personal freedom, and his place in the modern world. Join us at the Huntington Library where international scholars will explore the significance of memoir, film, and biography in order to reconstruct Isherwood's place in contemporary culture and literary history.

Proud Series presents PROUD Stories at Grand Park LA
On a sunny October day, ONE Archives enjoyed their day with their partner Grand Park LA at Proud Stories. The lawn was filled with games, food, storytelling, performances, and ONE's very own History of the LGBTQ Civil Rights Movement panels! As community members entered the park, they were able to learn about the beginning of diverse LGBTQ movements and transition into present day stories.
10th-Annual Los Angeles Archives Bazaar
 
KillJoy's Kastle: A Lesbian Feminist Haunted HousePlummer Park in October was filled with its usual kids, pups, tennis players, seniors, lesbian zombies, demented women's studies professors, and crumbling pillars of society tampon punching bags. Brought to us by Deirdre Logue and Allyson Mitchell, KillJoy's Kastle explored the multifaceted lesbian feminist, from ball-busting butches to paranormal consciousness raisers with pearl encrusted genitalia. Participants enjoyed an interactive tour and amazing performances by Gretchen Phillips, Korn, Christina Zeidler, Bitch, and Lez, the zombie reincarnation of beloved Phranc.
