RUDD Former Records Management Officer and City Archivist Hynda Rudd will present an illustrated talk showcasing the treasure trove of historical records (covering the years 1827 to 2000) to be found in the Los Angeles City Archives. A passion of hers for decades, she "felt it was necessary to introduce this remarkable, unknown collection to local historical societies, librarians, museum curators, teachers and other interested groups." No one knows this subject better than Hynda, who received a Master's degree in history at the University of Utah prior to moving to Los Angeles in 1978. Here, she continued her education at USC, earning a Master's in Library Sciences. Hired as the city's first archivist in 1980, Hynda was promoted to records management officer in 1986, managing the program for more than 45 departments, offices and bureaus. Over her career, she has also acted as the L.A. City Historical Society's project manager for a bibliography of published material about Los Angeles between 1970 and 1990, and as head of the editorial board for the recent two-volume opus, The Development of Los Angeles City Government: An Institutional History, 1850-2000 (published 2007). Active in many historical and archival organizations, Hynda is past president of the L.A. City Historical Society, board member of the National Association of Government Archives & Records Administrators, and has worked as consultant to USC and the L.A. Railroad Heritage Foundation. ........................................................................ ..... This facility is handicap-accessible.
