As the final piece in the HFA’s tribute to Harvard’s Houghton Library on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of its founding, we present two very special films that typify the spirit of one of Harvard’s most unusual special collections: the Ludlow-Santo Domingo (LSD) Library, which collects books, manuscripts and images about psychoactive drugs and the many cultural and countercultural products inspired by the altered states of mind such drugs produce, with major holdings of erotica and underground comix.

An exhibit highlighting the LSD Library, entitled “Altered States: Sex, Drugs, and Transcendence in the Ludlow-Santo Domingo Library” is on display at Houghton from September 5 through December 16. The exhibition will be open for a special viewing on Saturday, October 28 from 5:45 to 6:45, as well as the normal hours of 9am to 5pm.
