> pulled from a lot of rare resources you would only find at the Prelinger

> About the Prelinger Library: She and her husband (Rick Prelinger, the film
> archivist) founded it. It is insane. They specifically seek rare books and
> ephemera (maps, postcards, zines,...), on topics range from utopianism and
> anarchism to land management and human geography. They are also on the
> light side of the IP/open knowledge debate (they go out of their way to
> note that their library is "appropriation-friendly").

> They're very interesting people to meet if you haven't already, and would
> be happy to meet you during library open hours, which are Wednesdays 1-8p
> at Rm. #215, 301 8th Street, SF. More info at <
