The Rainbow Archives project was initiated by Pip Wilson, former editor of Simply Living magazine, as a means of preserving the culture of the alternative movement which emerged in the 1960s and continues to flourish in the 1990s. The collection was begun in 1985 and encompasses material from a wide range of sources documenting a variety of interconnected movements including counter culture, rural resettlement, communal living, permaculture, natural healing, conservation of the environment, new age, nuclear disarmament, peace, alternative religions, personal development, arts and crafts.
