Friends of Atwater Village (FAV) in partnership with Arcadia Publishing will be producing an Atwater Village photographic history book for the Images of America series.
In order to fully preserve Atwater’s history FAV is asking for help in obtaining old photographs, documents, newspaper articles, receipts or advertising from local businesses and any other historic information regarding Atwater Village between the years of 1900-2000. The book is a way to share and preserve our local history and a great way to mark the Centennial of our neighborhood.
At the Atwater Village Centennial Street Festival, slated for Sunday June 13, 2010, FAV will be taking oral histories from those that would like to share their memories of Atwater Village’s past. We will also be scanning photographs and memorabilia that Atwater Villagers would like to share for possible inclusion in the book. The book is slated to go on sale by late 2010 or early 2011.
Please come by the FAV booth during the Street Festival or contact us at 323.913.2999 or at favboard@friendsofatwatervillage.org
