** Student Free Speech Protest Archives Get a Home At UC- Berkeley
The San Francisco Gate is reporting ( http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2001/04/13/MN12743.DTL
) that the archives of the 1964 Free Speech Movement are now being made available online through an initiative called the Free Speech Movement Digital Archives. The archives are available at http://library.berkeley.edu/BANC/FSM/ .
To browse the text documents, start at http://sunsite.berkeley.edu:2020/dynaweb/teiproj/fsm/ . The collection includes leaflets, letters, press releases, and speeches. The leaflet presentation is a little confusing. Click on the name of a leaflet and you'll get a page that says "Table of Contents for [name of leaflet.]" The name of the leaflet will be hyperlinked. Click on it and you'll get the text content of the leaflet.
The multimedia aspect of this collection is available at http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/FSM.html . There's a video clip and a long list of documentary descriptions on the FSM, and several audio clips, including the interestingly-named "Joy to UC (FSM Carols, 1964)" ("God Rest Ye Free Speech"? "Come All Ye Mindless"?) Playing clips requires StreamWorks or RealPlayer, depending on the speed of your connection.
This site also has a chronology of the FSM available, a collection of photographs (click on the photographs on the home page) and a bibliography of related materials.
