PRESERVE THE ARCHIVE

Today there are still hundreds of hours of Alan’s talks that have never published, and so we continue to curate and release talks from this growing archival collection. Without these efforts, most of the talks recorded in the sixties and early seventies would have only been experienced by those present at the live events.

Ongoing archival and digitization efforts are a major undertaking, given the hundreds of hours of media originally recorded on lacquered disks, magnetic reels and cassettes between 1953 and 1973. We are constantly curating from a collection of 500 reels and hundreds of cassettes. In addition, each year new materials are discovered in libraries and personal collections with Watts’ lecture and seminar sessions, as well as previously uncatalogued interviews and television appearances.
