LOCATION AND LOGISTICS
The Clark Library is located at 2520 Cimarron St., at the corner of Adams. It is located about 13 miles east of the UCLA campus, and a few minutes west of downtown Los Angeles. Take the Santa Monica (10) freeway to the Arlington exit. Go south on Arlington. Take the next left (24th) then the next right (Cimarron). Continue one block south on Cimarron. The library is behind the ivy-covered brick wall on the left. Turn into the driveway through the gate on Cimarron and park in a lot on either side. Parking is free.

Two airports serve the Los Angeles metropolitan area: Los Angeles International (LAX) and Burbank (BUR). The Clark Library is situated within reasonable driving distance of Union Station, Los Angeles, which connects with regular Amtrak and Metrolink train services. Bus services along nearby Adams Boulevard and Western Avenue provide links with many parts of the Los Angeles area. It is, however, important to note that bus services in Los Angeles tend to be slower and less frequent than in other major American cities. We strongly advise NEH Summer Scholars to consider renting a car during their period of residence in the area.
