About The Source Family Scrapbook

This book provides an intimate view into the world of California’s legendary utopian community, The Source Family. This immersive document is a facsimile of original scrapbooks assembled by Source Family member and historian Isis Aquarian between 1972-1977. Vivid life-size reproductions are presented here as they were originally laid onto the page, edited only for flow. These richly textured documents illuminate the group’s public adventures and private world through hundreds of never-before-seen photographs, newspaper clippings, letters, manifestos, and flyers, mapping an intimate, epic history of the group’s incandescent rise and eventual unraveling. Includes extensive captions by the authors and an essay by Jodi Wille.
