Section Archives

The Northern Section Archives is part of and is integral to the APA California Chapter Planning Archives at California State University Northridge. The Chapter’s Planning Archives were launched on APA California’s 50th anniversary in 1998 to help document the history and practice of the planning profession in California, and to record the evolution of APA California and its allied planning organizations. The APA California Planning Archive is one of the only Chapter archives in the country. The Northern Section is also currently one of two Sections in the Chapter with an appointed Section Historian.
