The Beat Museum website has all things Beat—right on down to the t-shirts.

Here, you can find an exhaustive list of Beat authors. And anyone else from the time period who came into contact with those writers, or were influenced by them. As you'll see, anyone who got close, but didn't quite make it into the inner circle, got burned.

A great place to investigate just how Beat authors fit into the American literary tradition.

Excerpts, pictures, stories, and funny drawings to help you humanize the Beat Movement. This one's supposed to be fun, Shmoopers. Go, play.
