Materials principally comprise audiovisual recordings of oral history interviews, public conversations, and lectures dating from 2003-2012, generated by the Getty Research Institute (GRI) through its Modern Art in Los Angeles and Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. initiatives. Materials also include supporting documentation for the initiatives, including interview transcripts, photographs, and ephemera. The interviews and events were conducted to record leading artists, filmmakers, musicians, curators, and critics as they discuss their contributions to Los Angeles' vibrant postwar (1945-1980) art scene.

The Getty Research Institute (GRI) is a program developed and overseen by the J. Paul Getty Trust.
