Scope and Content

From the Collection:

The collection is mainly comprised of Punk flyers advertising venues and times for performances of punk bands. These flyers display unique art with dramatic designs representative of the punk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Flyers advertise for well-known bands, such as U2, The Talking Heads, The Dead Kennedy’s, and local bands. The flyers also have a variety of venues that were integral to the Punk movements, such a Mabohay and On Broadway. The collection contains flyers from both San Francisco and Rancho Cucamonga. The collection also depicts later forms of the punk movement, with zines from 1983-2011 of MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL, a not-for-profit monthly zine, which depicts the punk lifestyle across the United States and the world. A newsletter is included in the collection, asking for punks to peacefully resist police brutality.
