Step into seven decades of geography at LAGS — from 1953 to today.

In 2025, the LAGS received four boxes of historical documents — lecture series programs, research symposium programs, meeting minutes, and newsletters — a true Who’s Who of Los Angeles geography from previous LAGS president Gary Booher. Thanks to the digitization work started in 2024 by Historical Collections Curator April Chernila, you can now explore parts of this collection online. Browse the digital archive to find a favorite professor or mentor, or see how geography at LAGS has evolved since 1953. The project is still in progress, but already offers a fascinating glimpse into our history — and maybe even a spark for your next research project!
