Support the Valley Times Project

A majority of those great historical SFV pics you see on Facebook, Twitter, and throughout the net (including this blog) probably came from the Los Angeles Public Library Photo Collection (some examples below). They have thousands of images in their archives from various collections that have yet to be scanned. Consequently, a new project titled, Valley Time Collection, has been started to raise funds to help with scanning and documenting all those pictures. So if you enjoy seeing historical pics of the SFV, please donate to the fund which can be found here. I just donated $100.

Anything and everything about the San Fernando Valley. This blog will take you back in time when the valley was covered with dirt and orange groves to a leader in the space race to its current status as America's suburb.
