The Santa Monica File (part of the Library online catalog under the Santa Monica History heading) is a selective index to the Outlook from the early 1950s to March 13, 1998, when the Outlook ceased publication.   It also contains citations to a variety of books and magazines that have historical information about Santa Monica.  The Index covers the Our Times section of the Los Angeles Times from its beginning in March 1998 to its cessation in September 2000.  Current indexing is available for the Santa Monica Mirror.   Indexing for the Mirror begins with the first issue of the newspaper on June 24-30, 1999.  The Santa Monica File is the only available index to the Outlook and Our Times.
