Cataloging the Underground Press, pt. 3
This Saturday, August 27, 1-5pm
A couple months back IA received our largest ever donation, Sean Stewart’s amazing “Babylon Falling Collection†of underground press and related ephemera. This Saturday we are hosting the third accessioning party for the collection!
There are over 30 boxes of underground newspapers (The East Village Other, Berkeley Barb, Rat Subterranean News, The Black Panther, The Realist, The Guardian, and many, many more), underground comix (including issues of It Ain’t Me Babe, Wimmin’s Comix, Zap, and The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers), and counter-cultural magazines (including one of the most complete collections of Ramparts magazine we’ve ever seen).
The accessioning party will be the first attempt at organizing the Babylon Falling Collection and integrating it into existing IA holdings. If you are interested in being a part of this, come to the archive for 1pm on Saturday or contact Charlie at morgan.charlie@gmail.com This is a great opportunity to work with some fantastic material and absolutely no archival or library experience is required. If possible bring a laptop!
