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.

Evidently some folks got busted anyway. Click on the image below to see this document at full size…
