Description
The collection consists of domestic and foreign underground publications issued between 1963 and 1985. The Hoover Institution Supplement is comprised of previously missing issues of 88 alternative press titles from the original collection and of 178 entirely new titles.
Material was filmed in sections, e.g. 1965-1969. Each section is arranged alphabetically, then chronologically within each title. In order to find all filmed issues of a particular newspaper, it may be necessary to consult several sections on different reels. At the beginning of each reel is a table of contents.
The missing issues of publications which appeared in the original collection are contained on reels 1-6 of the supplement, and their titles are followed by an asterisk in the guide inventory.
The printed indexes list titles alphabetically with volume and issue numbers, inclusive dates and reel and item numbers. The index to the original collection also lists domestic and foreign newspapers by place of publication. The guide to the supplement has reel inventories at the end. For a subject approach to articles, one should consult Alternative Press Index (Ref AI3.A27), which indexes some of the newspapers in this collection.
