Background
- Scope and content:
-
The collection contains pamphlets, flyers, announcements, catalogs, journals and newsletters, reprints, reviews, and printed material relating to a wide range of issues including civil rights, ecology, labor, and domestic and international politics. Numerous organizations, groups, and movements are represented, including the Students for a Democratic Society, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the Southern Conference Educational Fund, the Black Panthers, the U.S. Socialist and Labor Parties and many smaller community-based (mostly Santa Barbara/UCSB) groups.
The work of many organizations naturally overlaps with more than one subject. For example, documentation on local campus and community organizations can be found in virtually all series. Many groups that believed in radical social reform also did not believe that an idea could be patented and were opposed to copyright laws. Therefore, many of the materials in the collection lack copyright or reprint dates.
