The archive for alternative culture in Berlin was founded in 1995 and donated to the Institute for European Ethnology at the Humboldt University in Berlin for research purposes.
Alternative culture
The archive contains a large collection of printed matter from the German-speaking alternative movement of the 1960s to 1980s, which were published under the collective term Alternative Press, from the holdings of the literary information center of Josef Wintjes (1947–1995) in Bottrop . Josef Wintjes founded the non-conformist literary information center in 1969 and, with the publication of Ulcus Molle Infos, was an institution of the underground and alternative magazines of that time . The information was used for discussion and reviews of non-conformist publications published by small and self- publishers.
archive
The estate includes literary and political archive material, which is available under the name Archive for Alternative Culture - Josef Wintjes Collection . It is a collection of the documented history of the New Social Movements , including magazines, brochures, pirated prints and posters from the period from the mid-1960s to the 1990s. In addition, private collections from small publishers and individuals have also been transferred to the archive in recent years. In 1997 an exhibition took place in the Small Humboldt Gallery of the Humboldt University in Berlin under the name “Central organs of the underground and scene papers from 1968–1980”. On this occasion, a special edition of the Berliner Blätter was published for information, scientific presentation and investigation. The current collection of material in the database of the Archives for Alternative Culture consists of around 1,600 titles from the subject groups of literature, art, culture, politics, city newspapers, anarchism, the Third World, book catalogs, homosexual, student, women's and prison magazines, Indians, master’s theses, and newspaper clippings , Video and audio cassettes.
The archive of youth cultures , which is also located in Berlin , also collects underground magazines and small and self-published publications. However, the focus is mainly on scenes such as punk, graffiti or techno, etc. a. the archive of youth cultures has an extensive collection of fanzines ( e.g. from the science fiction fan scene, the punk scene or from queer-feminist contexts).
