The Community Market cooperative catalog

Rare Books

"The community market cooperative catalog is a book of economic alternatives--co-ops, poor people's groups, collectives, intentional communities, and communes working to create a producer/consumer coalition trading in handmade goods, camping gear, yarn, toys, photographic equipment, clothing, furniture, bicycles, and publications. Included are articles on the theory behind counter-economy, where it is working and how; about vertical networks from co-op farms to urban buying groups. And there is a section on resources that tells where to learn blacksmithing, where to get medical and legal services, how to join a food co-op, how to develop alternative sources of energy--how, in fact, to do everything necessary to become part of the community market"--Back cover.

Fellowship of Intentional Community (1998)

Manuscripts

This collection is organized to preserve, whenever possible, Robert Hine's original order. This includes most of his original folder titles, the original order of folders, and the original order of some of the boxes. The collection contains Hine's professional work as a historian of the American West and a writer, and includes research notes, photocopied manuscripts, newspaper clippings, interviews, correspondence, and other research related papers. As such, the original order of Hine's papers reflects his process of collecting and referencing them as he worked on various book projects. In some instances, his original folders provide insight into the kinds of questions or themes he was pursuing in the course of his work. Hine also revised the organization of these papers as he prepared them for donation to the Huntington Library in the late 1990s. Despite Hine's own curatorship, some of his papers remained unsorted and unorganized at the time of this collection's cataloging. Those have been organized by the cataloger to reflect, as much as possible, Hine's own organizational methods.

Tanya Marcuse : undergarments and armor

Rare Books

"With the support of a Guggenheim Fellowship, I traveled to archives and museums in the U.S. and England photographing undergarments, armor, and the museum forms that populate the storerooms-- breastplates, helmets, corsets, bustles, mannequins and dress forms. I portray these garments and suits of armor as sculptures of the body, carapaces that have outlasted their wearers. Where they once adorned, constricted and protected their wearers, they are now archived as artifacts, the shells of those who once inhabited them" -- Artist's website.
