Whole Earth Catalog: Access to Tools, Fall 1970

01

Artifact Overview

Biologist Steward Brand founded the Whole Earth Catalog in 1968, to connect counterculture and back-to-the-land communities with innovators in the fields of technology, design, and architecture. The cover of each edition, like this from Fall 1970, featured images of earth taken from outer space. Brand believed showing this would change people's perceptions of their responsibility for the globe.
