Rome: Eternal City presents Rome seen through the eyes of over a century and a half of architectural experts. The breathtaking photographs collected in this volume are drawn from the archives of the Royal Institute of British Architects, founded in London in 1834. Having famassed architectural photography since the conception of photographic media, the RIBA now contains one of the largest such collections in the world. Over time, that collection captured Rome from landscape to close archeological detail, through history ranging from antiquity to contemporary structures. The photographs themselves were taken largely by British architectural writers and photographers: James Anderson, Richard Bryant, Ralph Deakin, Ivy and Ivor de Wolfe, Monica Pidgeon and Edwin Smith. Rome: Eternal City also includes essays on related topics, such as the origins of photography in Rome, the hold Rome has had on British photographers and filmmakers, and others.

Defining Their Identity: The Changing Roles of Women in the Post-War Era as Documented by the Valley
The popular view of women in the years following World War II has come to be of homemakers like television's Donna Reed and June Cleaver who maintained picture perfect households in suburban settings. In many cases this was indeed the primary role assumed by women of the era, but it wasn't the only one. Women pursued advanced degrees, became professionals, held office, excelled in sports, fought for equal rights, and became civically involved, and often while running those households. The San Fernando Valley has come to exemplify the post-War suburban growth that took place throughout the country and the Valley Times newspaper was there to document this expansion along with the Valley's dynamic women in their various roles. Now, the exhibit and companion catalog, Defining Their Identity: The Changing Roles of Women in the Post-War Era, explores the changing roles of women through the lens of the Los Angeles Public Library's Valley Times' image archive.
