"The City's Neighborhoods Past & Present"

The Historical Society of Long Beach and

 Long Beach City College Foundation seeks submissions on neighborhoods

The Long Beach City College Community Studies Program and the Historical Society of Long Beach have announced in an email to the community that they are welcome submissions for the Third Long Beach Community Studies Conference with the 2014 theme of  "The City's Neighborhoods Past & Present" .

The Conference will be held at LBCC's Liberal Arts  Campus on Saturday, April 26, 2014.  

The emailed information includes:

From Alamitos Beach to Zaferia and every neighborhood in between, we welcome your stories!

The intent of the third conference on Long Beach Studies is to showcase the wide ranging and interesting work being done today about our diverse communities. We welcome proposals that explore a deeper understanding of our communities. 

Among the topics that presentations might address are:  

How did neighborhoods originate and change over time?  

How have people in commercial and residential areas cooperated or competed?

The selection of the theme of neighborhood associations and civics groups arises from a desire to explore the diverse and complex communities making up the city and to consider the possibilities of a common civic culture. We see the theme as all inclusive. Please do not hesitate to submit presentations that don't specifically focus on neighborhoods. The committee hopes to learn about local projects and will make presentation selections that inform the study of greater Long Beach.
