The SLATE Digital Archives provides an overview to the history of the University of California at Berkeley student political party, SLATE, through documents and narrative. SLATE, the first of the student organizations in the rising New Left and student movements, was instrumental in shaping the political atmosphere of UC Berkeley during the 1960s and was a model for other progressive student groups throughout the country.

The SLATE Digital Archives is designed to provide access to information about SLATE for students, teachers, and researches of all levels. The project outlines SLATE's organizational history, provides a chronology of important events, includes images to sample documents, and a guide to the records of the SLATE archives.

To learn more about the history of SLATE and its context within the civil rights, new left and students movements, see the history of SLATE page. The chronology details the rise and fall of SLATE. The finding aid provides an inventory of primary source material (manuscripts, correspondence, papers, meeting minutes and other documents) in the SLATE collection, and the digital collection includes a selection of digitized documents from the archive.
