Valley History - A few Facts and Photos Running across some pictures and details on the history of the San Fernando Valley, I found some to be pretty interesting - You be the judge... Most are black and white landscape photography. An example below - The lady is standing on Ventura Blvd in 1908 in front of what is now the Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas - The view is towards Camarillo. The Barn on the left is now the site of the Commons Shopping Center / Office Complex.
Photo Credits While many of the photos I've included here I've found randomly scattered on the web on places like "Bob's Web Site", in some cases I suspect that the pictures may have originated from general archives. General Note: The works of those individuals who have died 70 years or less are, or can be, copyrighted by their estates. This site, as a not-for-profit personal web site, would be using the works of such artists under the Fair Use provision of the 1976 U.S. Copyright Act. Every attempt has been made to ensure that no copyrighted works have been included in this site. However, just in case something slipped through the cracks, no works hosted on this site by any artists, whether or not they're protected by copyright, may be redistributed for any commercial venture. You may, however, download any or all of them for personal use in accordance of said copyright act. For more information on copyright law in general visit The Copyright Website and / or the U.S. Copyright Office. NOTE: There are NO copyrighted works (or non-copyrighted for that matter) for sale on this site. I've been assured by one of the archive managers that due to the age of the pictures used here, that they are in the public domain. I waited three weeks for an answer when trying to get permission for one terrific photo I wanted to use as a lead-in even though it was about a hundred years old, but I swear, whenever I called, it must have been the lady in the picture above that I was talking to, because she was as sweet as could be and wanted to talk forever, but I had to re-introduce myself each time I called and re-explain my purpose - I just scrapped the picture and used the one above instead... Anyway, two archives which deserve mention are the San Fernando Valley History Digital Library and the Los Angeles Public Library. Toss those names into your favorite search engine, and I'm sure you'll find some good info. If any copyright holder sees their stuff on here, drop me a note and let me know what you want - credit, removal, whatever - and I will comply immediately. Otherwise... just enjoy!
