Shulgin Archive

The Shulgin Foundation has received a 2025 grant from the Psychedelics in Society and Culture Fellowship Program at the UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics. We are planning to use the funds to curate an exhibit on the pharmacological, therapeutic, and cultural histories of MDMA, constructed with materials from the Shulgin Archives.

Our team of specialists will handpick a captivating selection of mixed media from Ann and Sasha's archives, beginning the review process this fall. We are working with exhibit curators to finalize dimensions and location, with plans to have the exhibit running by Q2 2026. The project will involve collaboration with fabricators, artists, graphic designers, and subject experts to create both the physical and conceptual framework around these invaluable materials.

This exhibit represents more than a display—it is the first step toward full integration of the archives into the UC Berkeley library system, fulfilling Ann and Sasha's vision of preserving these materials where they can be properly maintained and accessed by future psychedelic researchers. We hope the exhibit will eventually travel beyond Berkeley and serve as a model for future showcases of Shulgin archive materials, creating gathering places for our community beyond the Farm and reaching a global audience.

The project preserves vital history that is too often lost in the underground, crystallizing these materials' rightful place in documented psychedelic history for the next generation.
