The Lost LA Curriculum Project works with California's history-social science instructional framework and aligns local stories and materials with state educational standards. Use this portal to navigate lessons by topic, watch the documentaries, download the PDFs of lessons and classroom activities and find related articles.

The Lost LA Curriculum Project is a collaboration between representatives from several Southern California institutions including Daniel Diaz (Director of the UCLA History-Geography Project), Nathan Masters (host and executive producer of Lost LA), Hugh McHarg (Associate Dean for Strategic Initiatives at the USC Libraries), William Deverell (Director of the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West) and Bijan Rezvani (Senior Director of Digital for KCET).

 Twelve local elementary and secondary teachers were selected to collaborate with regional historians on creating dynamic and inclusive lesson plans. These lesson plans use Lost LA's wide array of editorial content to prompt historical and culturally relevant classroom discussions.

The Lost LA Curriculum Project was unveiled on May 4th, 2019, at the annual UCLA Teaching History Conference during a panel discussion about designing culturally relevant materials centered on local history and ethnic studies. Then the Lost LA Curriculum Project officially launched on June 6th, 2019, with eight lesson plans based on the show's episodes. The project currently offers 12 lesson plans.
