We also provide access to the digitized newspaper databases Access Newspaper Archives and the Los Angeles Sentinel Historical Archive (1934-2005). We have a subscription to the digitized Los Angeles Times Historical Database (1881-1994). The Southern California Genealogical Society has an online index to obituaries found in the Los Angeles Times, but it is not complete. This means you have to either look through the newspapers page by page near the date of death (usually on microfilm), or search using keywords in a digitized format of the newspaper. There is no comprehensive index to obituaries and death notices for the newspapers in Los Angeles. These vary in length, but many only give the name of the decedent and the name of a mortuary.
Death notices-which are paid announcements-appear more frequently. The Los Angeles city newspapers generally only publish obituaries for well-known citizens.
