Dear advisory board and friends, We hope that this Newsletter finds you in good spirits and health! This 2025 issue is particularly meaningful, as it marks the 7th anniversary of the Back-to-the-Land (BTL) Project. In 2021 the BTL project became a founding member of the Counterculture History Coalition (CHC). This transatlantic coalition of scholars, community archivists, artists, activists, and first and second-generation back-to-the-landers is dedicated to preserving and presenting counterculture history. This anniversary is therefore less about nostalgia than about recognizing a collective trajectory—and the many hands, voices, and places that have shaped it. Since our last Newsletter, both the BTL Project and the CHC have continued to expand in scope and momentum. Below, we are pleased to share several key developments from the past year.
