William Andrews Clark memorial library
The library and its collections were built by William Andrews Clark, Jr., and named after his father, who had built a mining fortune in MT. The son, a prominent Los Angeles book collector and philanthropist, had a house at the corner of Adams and Cimarron Streets, and from 1924 to 1926 he constructed the present library on the same lot. Shortly afterwards he announced his intent to donate the collection, the buildings, and the square-block property to UCLA. When he died in 1934 the deed passed to the University. His collecting tended to concentrate on two areas which still define the strengths of the Clark Library: English literature and history of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and Oscar Wilde. Under the stewardship of UCLA the collection has grown, and a reference collection of modern books, periodicals, and microfilm support the holdings of rare materials.
