"Stacks"
Overview
We are calling our heap of documents and
archives which we are assembling to post on these Web pages our "Stacks". In a
way this List is a "teaser". We have an immense amount of material, boxes, cases
and shelves of documents. We will be adding to our online resources over many months and
what you see here is the smallest tip of the iceberg.
We thought you'd like to have an idea of what is
coming and the range of items we have, we'll be linking to the items on this list showing
their location on our Web site as we add them.
We show you this list for several reasons. Of
course, we hope you'll come back and re-visit (you may want to sign up for our FSM-A News by email so we can let you know as we add to these
pages). If you are an FSM Veteran we hope you will dig through your old files and boxes
and if you think you have documents or photos which you can share to help us fill in
missing items many people would appreciate it.
Were you influenced in any way by the FSM,
whether as a participant then, as someone who followed the events from outside of
California or as someone now who feels the FSM has made a difference in the way they see
free speech, relations with institutions or in other ways? We'd love to share your views
here - send us an email, an "op-ed" piece, or any other thing you'd like to
share. Email: fsm@straw.com .
This is an incomplete document
in many ways, it will grow in depth and links with time.
