Documenting Venice, CA, from its founding to the present
With thousands of historical photographs plus hundreds of print materials, ephemera, and more, the museum's collections preserve the myriad lives and experiences that have given this area its international reputation as a place of creative experimentation and diversity. Highlights include the Elayne Alexander Collection documenting the founding of Venice and the city's first decades, as well as the museum's Oral History Project of video-recorded interviews with notable Venetians across communities and generations. Our archives also include works by notable art and documentary photographers who have lived and worked in Venice, such as Josh "Bagel" Klassman, Pep Williams, and David Scott.
The archives are open to scholars and researchers to visit by appointment.
The museum is actively soliciting new contributions to expand its current holdings.
