UCLA: The First Century
Third Millennium Publishing
UCLA: The First Century is an extensively illustrated hardcover book which follows a chronological historical narrative with in-depth sections on campus traditions and the history of Bruin athletics.
Since the UCLA History Project was launched in 2004, UCLA have been chronicling a full account of their alma mater, from humble beginnings to their current standing as one of the world’s most prestigious public research universities.
The research and editorial team for this publication delved into the untold number of historical documents
and photographs preserved in UCLA’s archives and beyond, interviewed
numerous members of the UCLA community, and searched for materials and
anecdotes that were on the verge of becoming permanently lost or
forgotten.
