The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of Southern California (USC), joined in partnership with many other educational, cultural, and civic institutions throughout the Los Angeles area, propose to create and publish online the Digital Encyclopedia of Los Angeles (deLA). The encyclopedia will meet the high standards of the best published reference works, and also will employ powerful search methodologies and to organize diverse kinds of essays, documents, database materials, maps, timelines, and related multimedia. deLA will be a living reference work, updated perpetually. Built by a team with extensive experience not only in Los Angeles research, but also in academic librarianship and online computing standards, deLA will be available to the public free of charge on the World Wide Web as a continually evolving and updated work of reference, history, and interpretive commentary.
