The Oz Library

Oz magzine was first published as a satirical humour magazine between 1963–69 in Sydney, Australia and, in a second and more famous incarnation it became a “psychedelic hippy” magazine from 1967 to 1973 in London. Strongly identified as part of the underground scene, it was the subject of two celebrated obscenity trials. On both occasions the magazine’s editors were acquitted on appeal after initially being found guilty and sentenced to harsh jail terms.
Most of the issues have been scanned at high resolution and can be found at the Oz Library (just keep in mind that the issues may be ‘not safe or work’):
