Doheny Memorial Library (https://www.usc.edu/libraries/locations/doheny/history/), USC's flagship library, opened in 1932. Sixty-seven years after its opening, it was closed for nearly two years for a Seismic Retrofit and Preservation Project from December 1999 to August 2001. The project was mostly paid for by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and included major cleaning and conservation work as well. The photographs in this collection showcase the newly retrofitted building just prior to its reopening. Both public and private spaces are documented. Some photographs of the Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Library (https://www.usc.edu/libraries/locations/leavey/history/), which opened in 1994 and is located just across the quad from Doheny, are also included.
