Clippings and Flyers, 1970 - 1971

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 1
Identifier: Folder 1

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

Records consist of newspaper clippings and other items documenting the history of the Amazingrace Coffeehouse, and of posters advertising events and performances. 

Clippings and flyers, dating between 1971 and 1978, are arranged chronologically.  Many of the clippings are photocopied from the Daily Northwestern and other publications. One folder contains materials relating to reunions of the Amazingrace Family (most extensively, a reunion in 2011 which included several musical events held at Evanston and Chicago venues, as well as  an exhibit at the Northwestern University Library).

The posters, with the bulk dating between 1973-74, are arranged chronologically (with the exception of one oversized poster from 1972 at the bottom of the box).  Some posters announce one performer or group, while other posters list all upcoming events and performances for the month.  Most of the posters are silkscreens on colored stock, featuring the bold graphic style of the era.  The majority of the posters have been encapsulated in mylar by the Northwestern University Library Conservation Laboratory to protect them.

An undated poster, printed by Amazingrace, promoting “Up Against the Wall!,” an exhibit of posters from the Northwestern University Library that was displayed at the Dittmar Gallery, was added to the records as the last poster in the box.
