Andrew,
One of the major projects that the Archives is involved with is called the
Voices of the Tribe project. We are seeking to record and preserve the
history of Hair through the oral histories, stories, and memories of those
who were there then. Sort of like your paper on a larger scale. We have, for
instance, entries about the stories others have mentioned here - Madison
Square Garden, the Mexico production, the Supreme Court battles. There are
also many stories among the almost 500 articles online. And, as has been
mentioned you should read Jonathon's book Good Hair Days - several hundred
pages Hair of stories!
