From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West is an educational institute created in 2004 by a partnership between the Huntington Library and the University of Southern California. Its goal is to bring together writers, students, scholars, policy-makers, and historians to study the history of the American West and California, and to promote more extensive use of the Huntington Library's extensive materials on the subject.[1][2] The institute has sponsored conferences and research on subjects such as the impact of the Hollywood film industry[3] and the "subterranean West".[4]
