CCC enrollees help to control the Malibu fire near Angeles National Forest, California, from the Oregon State University Archives

Today, the Getty Museum sent out this tweet:

Getty Center is closed the rest of the day due to brushfire. LAFD is on the scene.

They also followed up to say that everything was OK and that the evacuation was just precautionary. Yay!

Here’s a reminder that the Getty is on the Flickr Commons, and that you can take a tour of their holdings by visiting them online.

Their set Postcards of Algiers, a Virtual Tour is one of my favorites, and could use some tags and comments from viewers. These postcards are featured in the exhibition Walls of Algiers: Narratives of the City (through October 18, 2009, at the GRI).
