Title
A name given to the resource
Small Press Publications
Description
An account of the resource
During the 1960s, numerous radical and independent small presses were created to publish longer essays, manifestos, philosophical tracts, treatises and poetry related to the movements of the New Left. These independent presses filled a niche that mainstream and commercial presses largely ignored. Small press publications were particularly vibrant in the women's liberation movement. While many of these independent publishers of the Sixties were short-lived, others have continued into the present.

Title
A name given to the resource
Buttons
Description
An account of the resource
Buttons were one of the most popular and pervasive forms of political messaging during the 1960s, combining brief messaging and memorable graphic designs. Buttons were inexpensive to produce on a mass basis and easy to distribute. They afforded any individual an opportunity to voice their opinions and, potentially, reach a broad audience. As Hunter Oatman-Stanford has written, “From discreet lapel pins to oversized buttons on purses or backpacks, pinbacks invite conversation by declaring potentially controversial viewpoints to complete strangers.” In this way, buttons were (and still are) a particularly democratic form of political propaganda.
As button collector, John Aisthorpe, has put it, buttons offer “a little snapshot of history.” During the 1960s, buttons were vital to the visual identity of a range of movements. “There were many protest groups who put their views on buttons,” Aisthorpe recalls, “from the early ’60s with the Free Speech Movement (FSM) to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and, later, the Veterans for Peace, the Fifth Avenue Vietnam Peace Parade Committee, and the Yippies.” The political impact of buttons in the 1960s is hard to gauge, though their popularity suggests some modicum of significance. And, as Aisthorpe has asserted, “It’s hard to say what impact they had, but the text of buttons worn at protests were often used as antiwar chants, like ‘Hell no, we won’t go!’… They must have had some effect.” The buttons of the 1960s have remained some of the most enduring relics from this important past.
This collection includes buttons from a wide array of movements from the Sixties, including the student movement, civil rights and Black Power movements, women's liberation, environmentalism, the anti-nuclear movement, gay liberation, electoral politics, the Chicano movement, the labor movement and the counterculture, with a strong emphasis on the anti-war movement. In addition, a few buttons date from Roz Payne’s activist efforts in the 1970s and 1980s, including the early political campaigns of Vermont politician, Bernie Sanders.

Title
A name given to the resource
Ronald Reagan for Fuehrer
Description
An account of the resource
Former Hollywood actor, Ronald Reagan, launched his political career in 1966 by targeting University of California-Berkeley's student peace activists, professors, and, to a great extent, the University of California itself. In his successful campaign for governor that year, Reagan championed traditional authority and emphasized two themes, anti-government promises "to send the welfare bums back to work" and “law and order” rhetoric, including assurances "to clean up the mess at Berkeley," where civil rights activism, the Free Speech Movement and growing anti-war demonstrations had roiled the campus and brought national attention the previous year. Reagan strongly attacked student leaders, like Mario Savio, as well as UC President, Clark Kerr, who Reagan perceived as too lenient on campus demonstrators. Once in office after defeating Democratic incumbent, Pat Brown, Reagan directed the UC Board of Regents to dismiss Kerr from his position, cementing a turbulent relationship with the state’s leading institution of higher education, as well as Regan’s reputation as a key conservative opponent of the emerging New Left.
