Power to the People

This collection of primary sources illuminates the twentieth century’s transformative journey toward social justice, encompassing shifts in attitudes regarding civil rights, gender equality, the environment, governance, and societal institutions. These materials offer a unique glimpse into a pre-internet, pre-social media era, emphasising equity, diversity, and inclusion.

The alternative press publications within this archive played a pivotal role in conveying anti-establishment and countercultural ideas. These often-underestimated vehicles provide valuable insights into social issues, politics, government, sexuality, diversity, and more.
