Free Database Trial for ResourceShelf Readers: The Sixties: Primary Documents and Personal Narratives, 1960 to 1974

The folks at Alexander Street Press are offering a free trial of this new database through the end of the month. Login and Password details below.

From the News Release:

Electronic publisher Alexander Street Press [has] announced the release of The Sixties: Primary Documents and Personal Narratives, 1960 to 1974, the first online collection of primary sources to document the key events, trends, and movements—as well as the look and feel of everyday life—in 1960s America.

When complete, the collection will contain 150,000 pages of cross-searchable content, including thousands of artifacts from “hidden” archives and other materials not available anywhere else. The collection includes a wide range of interviews—with the Beatles, the Weathermen, commune members, and women beat writers—as well as memoirs and diaries from Vietnam War veterans, civil rights workers, feminists, and regular people caught up in the times. Included are autobiographies of Abbie Hoffman, Medgar Evers, Bill Graham, and Roger Mudd; Civil Rights Commission hearing transcripts; and books documenting the Sixties, such as Like a Rolling Stone, by Greil Marcus; Forever Young: Photographs of Bob Dylan; and The Genius of Huey B. Newton, originally published by the Black Panther Party. Additional content is being added monthly, including political buttons, photographs, news coverage of demonstrations and marches, and rare underground radio broadcasts.

thanks, might be useful for research. As an aussie, all I can say is the less I know about the sixties in the US the happier I am. For so many years we were told here how far behind we were...now, I see it as a blessing.

Dear Granny,

While I try to be totally supportive of the sharing of all the recipes, I must register a complaint.

The recipe you posted for peanut butter, honey, chocolate chip fudge has two problems...

1. It is too good!!!

2. It is too easy to make!!!

How am I supposed to maintain my girlish figure with such temptation?

LOL - Really, recipe is fantastic and sooooo easy. Made a batch tonight and nobody could stop at one.

Thanks for the recipe!

I wonder how much information on Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn might crop up?
