Boo-Hooray Catalog #1
Boo-Hooray welcomes you to our first ever antiquarian book catalog, Catalog #1. For over a decade, we have been committed to the organization, stabilization and preservation of cultural narratives through archival placement. Today, we continue and expand our mission through the sale of individual items and smaller collections, in addition to archives.
The Hip-Hop History Archive at Cornell University
The core of the Hip Hop History Archive at Cornell University was established by Johan Kugelberg, who sought to locate and preserve the earliest artifacts he could find pertaining to the origins and influence of hip hop as music, culture, and community in the Bronx, New York City.
In 2008, Kugelberg founded the Cornell University Hip Hop History Archive, which has since grown to include other collections such as the archive of early hip hop photographer Joe Conzo, Jr, containing over 10,000 prints and negatives; the archive of Charlie Ahearn, director of Wild Style (1983), the first hip hop feature film; the archive of Ernie Paniccioli (Word Up magazine’s photographer and author of Who Shot Ya: 3 Decades of Hip Hop Photography); and “architect of hip hop,” Afrika Bambaataa.
The May '68 Paris Uprising Collection of Posters and Ephemera at Yale University
The May ’68 Paris Uprising Collection of Posters and Ephemera consists entirely of documents that were created by – and for – a revolution. In the collection are 85 street posters (75 were produced by the Atelier Populaire), and an assemblage of ephemera retrieved during the uprising, and safeguarded after, by Atelier Populaire founder Phillipe Vermès. These flyers, handbills, newspapers, and newsletters offer a first-hand account of the events as they transpired, representing France’s cry for reform.
