Speech Movement Digital Archive
The Free Speech Movement that began on the Berkeley campus of the University
of California in 1964 began a groundswell of student protests and campus-based
social activism that would later spread across the United States for the remainder
of the decade. With a substantial gift from Stephen M. Silberstein in the
late 1990s, the University of California Berkeley Library began an ambitious
program to document the role of those students and other participants who
gave a coherent and organized voice to the Free Speech Movement. The primary
documents provided here are quite extensive and include transcriptions of
legal defense documents, leaflets passed out by members of the movement, letters
from administrators and faculty members regarding the movement and student
unrest, and oral histories. The site also provided a detailed bibliography
to material dealing with the movement and a chronology of key events within

Activism Sound Recording Project, which features numerous audio clips of faculty
and academic senate debates, student protests, and discussions that were recorded
during this period.

Archives and Record Administration: Access to Archival Databases
The National Archives has recently
created this valuable online database that contains close to 50 million
historical records, culled from 350 archival sources from 20 different
federal agencies. Some sources include the Japanese-American Internee
File, the Community Action Program Grant Master Files, and the Civil War
Sites Database. From the homepage, visitors can learn about the architecture

archives more generally), and how to get help using the archives. To begin,
users will want to select a file unit, which are divided by subject, geography,
organization, time span, and creator (such as civilian or military agency).
After making this selection, a list of relevant file units will be returned,
and users can select the one that is most germane to their area of interest.
At this point, users can perform a more detailed search within the particular
database they have selected. When users have found the information they
are looking for, they have the option to view the records, print them
out, or copy them to their own computer. Overall, this is an important
addition to the extensive number of federal data sets available online.
