Soulellis’ talk, however, features a much better photo of this very same terminal at Leopold's Records in Berkeley, CA, likely taken at the same time based on the outfit of the person featured in both shots!

The talk, which focuses on community and archives and collaborative art and resistance, has some really interesting throughlines with some of the things I’ve been thinking a lot about lately.

A high-quality black-and-white-photo of two people operating the same community memory machine as pictured in the above photo.

Serendipitously, while researching this article I came across a March 2024 talk about “Survival By Sharing” by Paul Soulellis , which features a photograph of a Community Memory terminal.

I'd come across some photos of these while looking for public domain photos of computers a couple weeks ago, and was disappointed at the time that I couldn't find a better photo than ones like this on Wikimedia Commons (derived from a scan of a 1974 newsletter):

A low-resolution black-and-white photograph of four people peering over a computer terminal, which has been encased in a box on which "Community Memory" has been handwritten
The same photo as above, in the context of the newsletter in which it was published. At the top of the page is a comic of a mad scientist twiddling a nob, stating "At last... a community memory" in a chat bubble.
