Current Exhibits:
North Long Beach photo and artifacts on display in main gallery from December
18, 2007 – February 29, 2008.
Included in the exhibit are 16 dramatic photos of the area. They include Shady
Acres Miniature Golf Course, a 1930s-era flooded Orange Avenue, Lindbergh Junior
High seen from above showing the school’s airplane-shaped silhouette, and
a montage of the area’s homes; together, they tell the story of a North
Long Beach that is playful, ambitious, and determined to be a good place for
families to live and work. Several of the photos in the exhibit were taken
by the Winstead Brothers, one of the City’s premier commercial photography
studios during the 1920s and 30s. All come from the HSLB’s collection
of more than 30,000 photographic images.

the main and south galleries from March 8 – May 18, 2008
The 86 photos in this exhibit come from the National Archives showing
Americans at work. The photos span the years from the late 1850s to the

jobs and the changing face of the workforce.
