When I Think of Home: Images from L.A. ArchivesMain 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.L.A.

Student donations funded the massive fireplace: bricks were sold for $1 and engraved with the names of purchasers. Seniors offered the bronze motto, juniors the large bronze T, sophomores the mantel, and freshmen the andirons. For many years students gathered around the beloved fireplace for recreation, relaxation, and scientific discussions.plain2020-10-04T20:22:26-07:0004/19/1905Caltech Archives and Special CollectionsCopyright has not been assigned to Caltech Archives and Special Collections.California Institute of TechnologyThroop Club (Dugout) fireplace,” photograph 30.5-16, Caltech Photographs, Caltech Archives and Special Collections. ab20-ctech-02Pasadena, Calif.UnknownCurtis Fletcher3225f3b99ebb95ebd811595627293f68f680673e

Our collections include the papers of Caltech researchers; photographs, film, audio, video, websites, and publications documenting Caltech’s history; scientific instruments characteristic of research at Caltech; and rare books anchored by the Rocco Collection of early modern physics and astronomy. We have been collecting oral histories of Caltech faculty and other affiliates since 1979, and have published approximately 200 transcripts on the web. Caltech has also made publicly available on the web the papers of astrophysicist George Ellery Hale, founder of Mount Wilson Observatory; aeronautical engineer and pioneer of human-powered flight Paul MacCready; and Nobel Prize-winning particle physicist and molecular biologist Donald Glaser. https://archives.caltech.edu/structured_gallery2020-10-09T11:56:24-07:00Likhita Sureshfa36a2f3506609c5e2c064df653783c84fd35c54
