Diggers Papers No. 5: “The Digger Office Is Now Open”/Historical Diggers

Arthur is proud to present a set of scans of essential documents produced by and about the San Francisco Diggers, who were in many ways the epicentral actors in the Haight-Ashbury during the epic, wildly imaginative period from late ’66 through ’67. The Diggers’ ideas and activities are essential counter-cultural history, sure, but they are also especially relevant to the current era, for reasons that should be obvious to the gentle Arthur reader.

This double-sided document was probably printed and distributed in early February, 1967. Click on the images below to see this document at full size. Sorry for the crap quality of these scans—we’re working on getting better ones.

  1. Stan Flouride,

    These are great! I’ve bid on a few on eBay but gave up when they went over $50.00!

    Thanks.
