Collection includes correspondence, personal family documents, photographs, and artworks that predate Hetty's time in New York and San Francisco, where she established her reputation as a dynamic member of the psychedelia- tinged counterculture. Before she worked as an illustrator and designer for The Oracle, an influential and cutting- edge San Francisco magazine, and before she met her future husband, experimental musician Angus MacLise, she was sketching cities in Europe, honing her signature graphic style, jotting down marijuana recipes in notebooks, raising her first son, Jason Paul McGee, and corresponding prolifically with individuals like Gerald Brenan, a noted writer and Hispanic scholar who was friends with Roger Fry and the Bloomsbury Group. This archive attests to all these activities, and the depth with which she pursued them. Hetty brought these materials to the United States with her when she moved to San Francisco in the mid-1960s. She stowed them with her friend, photographer Lisa Law where they remained for several decades. Hetty had discussed these materials with her friend Rachel Marco-Havens, and several years after Hetty's passing in 2011, Law transferred the materials to Marco- Havens as their owner.
