UCLA Kicks off Centennial Celebration

UCLA is beginning a centennial anniversary celebration of its founding in 1919 as the University of California Southern Branch.

Visit the UCLA 100 web pages for a timeline with historical images and stories or to scan the extensive array of planned events.  The UCLA Centennial Fact Sheet and the essay, "Founders of UCLA would marvel at their creation today," provide quick overviews of the institutional history.

The UCLA Library Special Collections and University Archives are also an excellent source for materials relating to the history and administration of UCLA.
