Scope and Contents
The Flipside Collection consists of ephemera related to Los Angeles' Flipside fanzine, including 20 stickers with seven different designs, business cards, a distribution letter and flyer, a Fanzine Nation letter, photocopy of an article by Jeff O'Neill in the Rio Hondo College publication El Paisano entitled "Punk Rock: The Sick Shall Inherit the Earth" from February 24, 1978, and the Summer 2012 issue (#45) of Colorado's Dagger fanzine that contains an interview with Flipside staffers Patrick DiPuccio and Holly Hudson. Also included in the collection is a document created by donor DiPuccio describing the items in the collection at length. The Flipside Collection provides a business context to the fanzine. Seen in a broader context, the collection highlights the do-it-yourself aesthetic of 1970s punk fanzines and illustrates their evolution into the new millenium.
