Preferred Citation [Identification of item], Hippies Collection (SFH 60), San Francisco History Center, San Francisco Public Library. Provenance The material comes from several sources. Deborah Wolf donated San Francisco Oracle issues and Communication Company street raps. Some ephemera was originally in the possession of Doug Charlsen. Allen Cohen donated the correspondence in Box 1. The layouts for Steve Walzer and Allen Cohen's photographic essay, Childbirth Is Ecstasy, are in the San Francisco History Center collection; both layouts and correspondence probably came to us from the same donor. Related Materials Researchers interested in newspapers listed in this guide should check San Francisco History Center periodical holdings; researchers interested in literary works, poetry and 'zines should see the Book Arts and Special Collections Center Little Maga/Zines Collection. The San Francisco Oracle is available in both facsimile edition and on CD-ROM in the San Francisco History Center. Two oversize volumes of San Francisco newspaper clippings about hippies, the Diggers, and Haight-Ashbury (1965-1970) that were compiled by library staff are also available from the San Francisco History Center stacks. Scope and Contents Correspondence, newspapers, little magazines, poetry, monographs, and ephemera documenting the counterculture movement of the mid-late 1960s in San Francisco, the "Summer of Love" of 1967, and to a lesser degree, local anti-war, racial equality, and New Age movements into the mid 1970s. Most of the material was produced or published in San Francisco, though some counterculture publications from outside San Francisco and California are included.
