L.A. Stories: Community SpotlightMain MenuIntroductionThe greater Los Angeles area is on the traditional lands of the Gabrielino/Tongva, Chumash, Fernandeño Tataviam and Yuhaaviatam/Maarenga’yam (Serrano) peoples. We acknowledge their presence here since time immemorial and recognize their continuing connection to the land, to the water and to their ancestors.PeoplePlacesContributorsChronology of ArtifactsMapping the CollectionVisualize the ExhibitIn this visualization, artifacts are green, themes are blue, and contributors to the exhibit are red.Acknowledgements

The products were identified with the trade name “Florencita,” after Smith’s wife, Florence Midred (Dodge) Russell. These designs are watercolors of some of the earliest products in the Smithware and Florencita lines. Decora Ceramics enjoyed popularity nationwide, but my mid-1952 Japanese copies of their products, identical in design, precisely copied, and priced below Decora’s production costs, began to flood the market.plain2021-10-12T11:49:19-07:0001/01/1947-12/31/1953Special Collections, The Claremont Colleges LibraryIn Copyright - Educational Use Permitted (This Rights Statement can be used only for copyrighted Items for which the organization making the Item available is the rights-holder or has been explicitly authorized by the rights-holder(s) to allow third parties to use their Work(s) for educational purposes without first obtaining permission.)33.963889 , -118.367885Ylyne StudioDecora designs, Decora Ceramics records (H.Mss.0276), Special Collections, The Claremont Colleges Library.Curtis Fletcher3225f3b99ebb95ebd811595627293f68f680673e

This section, just like the one prior, reflects and celebrates the differences among those who have impacted and continue to impact this city. This exhibit features many unique and accomplished Angelenos. Not surprisingly, given LA’s primacy as a center of entertainment, many of the noteworthy people featured here include artists, creative souls, and people in the movie industry. Additionally, librarians, educators, activists, environmentalists, scientists, and sports personalities from diverse backgrounds are represented in this exhibit. These Angelenos include immigrants, locals, people from numerous cultures, and many women.structured_gallery2021-10-22T11:13:25-07:00Curtis Fletcher3225f3b99ebb95ebd811595627293f68f680673e
