The Kesey Farm Archive brings together Ken Kesey’s personal materials and items from the artists, writers, and collaborators who have spent time at the Farm since the 1960s. The collection is being preserved, cataloged, and digitized—and continues to grow as the Farm remains an active creative place.

What’s happening now:

• Stabilizing and rehousing archival materials

• Cataloging and organizing digital records

• Preparing selected materials for public access

• Planning an online preview and an in-person public event at the Farm

What the archive includes:

• Books and printed matter

• Correspondence and manuscripts

• Photographs and visual material

• Artwork, ephemera, and objects from life and work at the Farm

Together, these materials trace decades of experimentation, community, and cultural exchange.

Looking ahead

Thanks to grants from the Chambers Family Foundation and the Lane County Cultural Coalition, we’re hard at work digitizing and eventually sharing years of never before seen material.
