APA California Northridge Archives


APA California Planning Archives at California State University Northridge

The California Chapter archives were launched on APA California’s 50th anniversary in 1998 to help document the history and practice of planning, and to record the progression of APA and its allied planning organizations. Founded by longtime Chapter Historian Betty Croly, FAICP, and former APA California President Frank Wein, FAICP, the APA California archive remains one of the only APA Chapter archives in the country. Donations are welcome – please contact the Chapter Historians for more information.
