View the new digital exhibition created by the 2023 Lanterman Research Interns!


Four local high school students participated in the Lanterman Research Internship Program during the summer of 2023. Their work focused on the history and impact of the city’s local newspaper on the community. The student interns studied primary source materials in the Lanterman House Archives, focusing primarily on the archives’ collection of local newspapers. The interns created an online exhibition on the history of the La Cañada Valley Sun which you can view here.

Additionally, the interns interviewed Mike Lawler, local historian and author; Jane Napier Neely, a long-time local journalist; and Charlie Plowman, the publisher of the Outlook Valley Sun newspaper. These interviews will become a permanent part of the Lanterman House Archives and will also be submitted to the California Revealed database.
