HISTORIC PHOTOGRAPHS IN THE BETHEL WOODS COLLECTION Historic photos in the Bethel Woods Collection are primarily snapshots of the 1969 Woodstock festival and surrounding communities taken by attendees during or after the festival. The photos are organized by their donor or source. Users of the Online Archive can search for photos by keyword or browse by collection.

Update: Photos in the Bethel Woods Collection were scanned to preserve the original content as faithfully as possible. While some have been adjusted to correct from over- or under-exposure of the original, the scans were generally left unretouched, leaving the dust, scratches, and damage of the originals. We are now in the process of retouching and color-correcting the images and will post the corrected images as they are available.
Note: Watermarks visible in the Online Archive images will not be visible in downloaded images.
