Tim Fuller, who served on the Boulder City Council from 1972 through 1974, discusses this tumultuous and formative time in Boulder politics. As student protests against the Vietnam War sometimes spilled over into riots in the streets and eighteen-year-olds were able to vote for the first time, the people of Boulder broke with a history of conservative politics and elected a majority of council members who pursued a socially liberal agenda. This agenda included the creation of a Human Rights Commission and the passage of a controversial ordinance banning discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, which was overturned by a vote of the people and led to a recall effort. Fuller discusses these events in detail and with the perspective of thirty-plus intervening years.

The photographs digitized in this record were glued onto pages 1-54 in an album titled "City Homes" organized by Martin R. Parsons. There are 74 pages in the album that show exterior views of early homes in the Boulder area, many with residents and families. If a photograph has been digitized, it is thought to be a unique image in the Carnegie Library for Local History collections or of superior quality than a previously digitized image. Some photographs may have been taken by photographer Joseph B. Sturtevant.
