California Digital Library has recently licensed 800 titles offered by Reveal Digital from their Independent Voices collection. This collection is a cooperative effort by libraries across the country to fund the digitization of alternative press content from their special collections. The newspapers and journals represent a wide spectrum of groups from the 1960s through 1980s and include feminist journals (like Bread & Roses), counterculture newspapers (like Berkeley Tribe), LGBT publications, and small literary presses.
Once digitization is complete, and a brief embargo period ceases, all content will become open access.
