Records, 1961-1978.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/477247546

The material in this collection documents the Bureau of Public Secrets and its pre-history, the Situationist International, American situationist, anrachist and libertarian activity and criticism, and is also significant in that it contains a critique of the New Left from activists of the same generation. The collection spans the years 1961-1978 with the bulk of the material spanning the years 1970-1976. It consists of flyers, periodicals, leaflets, pamphlets, and statements. Series I, Bureau of Public Secrets, contains a brief history and publications of the Bureau, articles and pamphlets by Ken Knabb, and three files containing materials produced by the Bureau's predecessor organizations. The second series, Situationist and Anarchist Material, consists chiefly of materials from other American situationist and anarchist organizations, and some material from England and the Netherlands. One file of note is that of the Amsterdam-based Help a Prisoner and Outlaw Torture Organizing Committee.
