Liberation News Service Photographs Bulk, 1970-1979 1965-1981, (Bulk 1970s)

The Liberation News Service (LNS) (1967-1981), a left-wing news agency, offered its subscribers, mostly college and underground newspapers, news packets, including photographs, twice a week. Journalists and photographers from the United States and around the world supplied the LNS with stories and images documenting the progressive movements and counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s. Half the collection covers the United States, with emphasis on anti-war (Vietnam) protest, the civil rights and women’s liberation movements, and youth culture. International coverage focuses on national liberation movements, with emphasis on Vietnam and China. Because most of the photographs are individually copyrighted, they are available only for research purposes.
