About the Exhibit

This exhibition, opened in May 2017, presents primary materials that document daily life in the Haight-Ashbury during the Summer of Love, and is entirely comprised of items held in the UCSC Library’s Special Collections & Archives. The items on display are drawn from a variety of collections, including the Grateful Dead Archive, the Ruth-Marion Baruch Photographs, the Eric Thiermann Photographs, the James Gunderson and Peter Coha Comic Book Collection, and our rich collection of alternative periodicals and small press literary publications. The Summer of Love took place in the public sphere: the images and texts on display in Dead Central would have been available on the streets of San Francisco fifty years ago.
