Seeking to further encourage and support research and teaching in the humanities, USC and The Huntington reaffirm their partnership with the Early Modern Studies Institute and the Institute on California and the West.
The rugged beauty of Big Sur. The innovative spirit of Silicon Valley. The hotbed of creativity that is the Hollywood dream machine. The Golden State is endowed with an iconic, almost mythical stature. Unlocking the mystique is The Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West.
Calling the humanities as vital as breathing, alumna, Pitzer College President and Mark Twain scholar Laura Skandera Trombley is named incoming president of The Huntington Library.
A one-of-a-kind resource for scholarly research on history and culture, The Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West celebrates its 10th anniversary.
Through the Los Angeles Service Academy, the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West is helping high school students interested in civil service to cultivate an appreciation of their city.
A $1 million gift by USC Dornsife alumni Linda and Harlan Martens establishes the USC-Huntington Early Modern Studies Institute’s Endowed Director’s Chair.
USC Dornsife’s history chair William Deverell explores the birth of a modern metropolis with the organization of an innovative digital exhibition of photographs drawn from the Southern California Edison archive.
USC Dornsife’s Kaya Press publishes the first-ever English translation of two works by long-lost author Shoson Nagahara, who wrote about the dark underbelly of 1920s Japanese immigrant life in L.A.’s Little Tokyo.
