From the Archives ... April 1948

With SLA celebrating its centennial in 2009, the Southern California Chapter will periodically feature historical material from its 70+ years worth of archives.

From April 1948, to show that SLA was truly an international organization 60 years ago, we feature Anne Margrethe Lovaas of Norway, the first recipient of SLA's Fellowship Award. Miss Lovaas visited Los Angeles and was hosted in L.A. by Frances Christenson of the University of Southern California's Library of World Affairs. In addition to visiting various area special libraries, Miss Lovaas worked for a brief period at Paramount Picture's Research Department.
