The Holding Together records represent the activities of Joanne Ziprin and the household she managed in Berkeley, California where Timothy and Rosemary Leary resided between 1968 and 1970. Holding Together was established to support Leary's legal defense after his arrest for marijuana possession. The collection contains audio recordings dating from 1966 to 1973. Recordings include lectures and public appearances by Leary from 1966 to 1969, interviews with Rosemary Leary, benefits for Timothy Leary, and om sessions. Holding Together's fundraising activities are further documented by notes, correspondence, artwork, mailing lists, donor lists, and other records. The collection also contains publications and statements produced by Timothy Leary and organizations supporting Leary's work.
