En fotografía antigua es muy necesario disponer de fuentes de documentación sobre las ciudades, su historia y sus monumentos.
Poco a poco los Catálogos Monumentales nos permiten descubrir la historia de los edificios.
Pues bien ahora acaba de aparecer, mejor dicho acabo de encontrar, una espléndida web sobre la ciudad de Los Angeles, realizada con el patrocinio del Getty.
HistoricPlacesLA is the first online information and management system
specifically created to inventory, map and help protect the City of Los
Angeles’ significant historic resources.
It showcases the city's
diversity of historic resources, including architecturally significant
buildings and places of social importance, as well as historic
districts, bridges, parks, and streetscapes.
