The Pacific Clinics records consists of annual reports, financial statements, correspondence, program and grant proposals, administrative and organizational records, 1942-1997 (bulk 1960s-1990s), documenting the growth of the clinic's services.

With its central headquarters located in the San Gabriel Valley, Pacific Clinics was originally founded in 1926 as an outreach of the Los Angeles Child Guidance Clinic. This outreach later became the Pasadena Child Guidance Clinic. In 1980 this latter name was changed to Pasadena Guidance Clinics, to reflect better the expansion in the range of clients whom the Clinics now served. The Clinics had begun to treat both children and adults in the early 1970s, after originally concentrating its services on children. The final name change occurred in 1987, when the Pasadena Guidance Clinics became the Pacific Clinics.
