I love finding out who was writing for the Phoenix in 1974 and looking at all of the glorious mustaches!
gmecagniAbout Boston Phoenix, 1974!
For nearly 50 years, The Boston Phoenix was Boston’s alternative newspaper of record, the first word on social justice, politics, and the arts and music scene. Its intrepid journalists tackled issues from safe sex and AIDS awareness to gay rights, marriage equality, and the legalization of marijuana. Ads for roommates, romantic mates, and band mates—one could find all these and more in the newspaper’s probing, irreverent, entertaining pages.
This project's goal is to transcribe the card file index to the Boston Phoenix. By doing this, you can discover and be inspired by the forgotten, missing, or lost parts of Boston's underground.
