The Digger Archives

[Werner Presber]

"The Digger Archives is an ongoing Web project to preserve and  
present the history of the anarchist guerilla street theater group  
that challenged the emerging Counterculture of the Sixties and whose  
actions and ideals inspired (and continue to inspire) a generation  
(of all ages) to create models of Free Association.
The Diggers were one of the legendary groups in San Francisco's  
Haight-Ashbury, one of the world-wide epicenters of the Sixties  
Counterculture which fundamentally changed American and world  
culture. Shrouded in a mystique of anonymity, the Diggers took their  
name from the original English Diggers (1649-50) who had promulgated  
a vision of society free from private property, and all forms of  
buying and selling. The San Francisco Diggers evolved out of two  
Radical traditions that thrived in the SF Bay Area in the mid-1960s:  
the bohemian/underground art/theater scene, and the New Left/civil  
rights/peace movement."
