Scope and Contents of Collection
The papers of Marion Parks, a personality in Los Angeles during the early 1900s, relate to
the history of Southern California. Parks described herself as "a California historian." Her
principal contributions in this capacity were a series of still-useful booklets published
while she was publicity writer for Security-First National Bank, and the organization of
colorful historical pageants (in the Spanish style) in several California towns. Her local
history files contain typescripts of her own writings as well as quantities of vintage
pamphlets and brochures, mostly from 1930s. Correspondence files date from about the 1920s
to the 1940s. The collection also includes 197 photographs taken by Marion Parks of parades,
historical pageants, and other events in and around Los Angeles that were probably taken in
the late 1920s and early 1930s.

the Marion Parks photographs have a number stamped on them, which was used to establish
an arrangement. When present, the number is indicated in the description.
