Over 380 hours of rare lectures and public talks by the late inventor R. Buckminster Fuller can now be downloaded through Stanford University Libraries. The recently debuting, fully digitized multimedia archive features Fuller’s work, made popular during the 1960s and 1970s.

Fuller’s mathematical concept of “Synergistics” and his geodesic dome “Spaceship Earth” were among his signature contributions, now documented in 1700 hours of audio and video recordings, following acquirement by Stanford University Libraries in 1999.

In addition to Fuller’s work are historical records and photographs of Stanford University, geological survey maps, records and university publications.

“It is quite appropriate that Bucky Fuller is leading the way for our digital multimedia offerings,” said University Librarian Michael Keller in a news release. “Digitizing materials invites greater use in teaching, learning and research, and enables new ways of understanding and using library holdings.”
