'Whole Earth Catalog' Goes Digital: Complete Collection Now Available Online

The Whole Earth Catalog, a counterculture publication founded by Stewart Brand 55 years ago, has been made available online for the first time. The digital library includes the catalog, magazines, and journals, offering readers the ability to browse through the content or download entire issues. The Whole Earth Catalog was influential in promoting self-reliance and had a profound impact on Silicon Valley's ethos. The restoration project was led by Barry Threw, in collaboration with the Long Now Foundation and the Internet Archive. The collection serves as a comprehensive archive of the Whole Earth publications, which had been relatively inaccessible in recent years.
