Bay Area Rock Art Research Association
Bay Area Rock Art Research Association archive
The Bay Area Rock Art Archive was given to The Bancroft Library by Paul Freeman for the Bay Area Rock Art Research Association
in 2001. Additions were made in May and October 2005 and in 2006.
Bay Area Rock Art Research Association - Organizational History
Established in 1983, Bay Area Rock Art Research Association (BARARA) is an avocational association of professionals and amateur
enthusiasts who share a dedication to rock art conservation, research and education in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area
and Northern California. BARARA publishes a bi-annual newsletter, organizes field visits to rock art sites, sponsors the Bay
Area Rock Art Conservation and Education Fund, the Bay Area Rock Art Archive at the UC Berkeley Bancroft Library, and other
rock art conservation activities.
The Rock Art Video Project was compiled and edited by Paul Freeman with the help of Ed Jones. The material to be edited consisted
of Super 8 mm movie film from the 1980s, VHS videotapes from the early 90s, then Hi 8, and finally Digital 8 video.
The Paul Freeman Video Project and Papers, 1975-2006, contains video cassettes of field trips to rock art and Petroglyph sites
in California and elsewhere with supporting documentation. Series 2 contains video cassettes and files regarding Ethnopsychiatry.
The term Ethnopsychiatry was coined by George Devereux, and reflects Paul Freeman's professional interests in Transcultural
Psychiatry, and his avocational interests in rock art, archeology, anthropology and ethnology. Series 3 contains correspondence,
notes, and research materials, chiefly relating to Freeman's book,
The Rock Art Lithographs of Lala Eve Rivol.
Series 3 includes copies of correspondence, reports, inventories, and a few copyprints of images done in 1936-1938 by Rivol
and others in the Lithograph Project, part of the Work Project Administration's Federal Art Project, based in San Francisco
under Joseph A. Danysh, advisor. Of interest is Freeman's correspondence, 1977-1997, with the artist, Eve [Rivol] Zuehlsdorff,
whom he located living in Minnesota, in which she describes her work and the art scene in San Francisco in the 1930s.
Arrangement of first two series follows Paul Freeman's original index with some modifications to conform with standard library
procedures. The finding aid lists the contents of the video cassettes and the corresponding file folders contain indexes and
supporting material for use with the cassettes. Appendix 1, located in the finding aid copy in the Bancroft reading room contains
Paul Freeman's Index which includes expanded information about contents of videos. Both cassette and folder should be paged
and used together.
The collection forms a part of the Bay Area Rock Art Research Association Archive.
