The Political History Leading to the Free Speech Movement
(The Development of the New Left at Berkeley
through 1964):A Thematic Index of Documents
Editorial note: We expect that all the texts of the first body of documents indexed below -- the working papers of the APSPAB project -- will be available online eventually. As related materials are mounted on our site and located elsewhere online, they will be indexed and made accessible here. We intend to expand the listings for each theme to provide fuller references to documents bearing on the specifics of student activism at Berkeley in the era before the FSM; and selective references to published documents and interpretations that place this local history in larger perspective. We will welcome assistance from veterans and scholars in compiling these references; and will be grateful particularly for contributions of pertinent materials -- from vintage documents to current retrospections -- that can be put online as public resource. If you can help, please see our editorial guidelines page.
As appropriate, documents may be indexed here under more than one theme. For information about the authors of APSPAB project documents, and which were published, see the link Working Papers.
