The LOST LA series is a co-production of KCETLink and the USC Libraries with L.A. As Subject. It brings Southern California history to life by marrying archival materials with innovative forms of documentary storytelling.
Hosted by historian Nathan Masters, each episode of LOST LA brings the primary sources of Los Angeles history to the screen in surprising new ways. Much of L.A.’s past is lost to history – but we can rediscover it in the region’s archives.
