collection. Thanks to the progress made during osemarie's five-year tenure, the Guild offices are now home to a research library and archives that are accessible to any member of the Guild who is looking for visual inspiration. I oined the ADG staff as archivist last year and have been focusing on raising awareness about the riches to be found in this uniquely specialized collection, one of the few production research libraries still available in the Los Angeles area. The heart of the ADG library is its book collection, which has been built primarily from member donations. The shelves are filled with more than sixty-five hundred books on art, architecture, design, decorating, culture, travel and history, and range from the late 1800s to the present. The collection also includes books about the history and practice of Production Design, as well as a good selection of works about the movie industry. We also have a wide range of vintage periodicals, including long runs of magazines like Architectural Digest and Horizon, and small runs or individual issues of titles like Fortune, Advertising Art, House eautu Confienta and many others. All of these materials are available to anyone who comes in to visit us, and the titles are searchable in our online catalog, which can be accessed through the ADG website. D A.
