The Beatles60 Project offers a daily, longitudinal exploration of the Beatles’ rise to fame within the broader socio-cultural landscape of the 1960s. Through a podcast featuring expert interviews and first-hand accounts, alongside a Facebook group for discussions, the project chronicles pivotal moments in history, contextualizing the Beatles’ activities within the dynamic cultural environment of the time. While emphasizing a historiographic and phenomenological methodology, Beatles60 avoids trivial fandom, focusing instead on daily contextual snapshots. These include historical photos, industry publications, and multimedia from 60 years ago, curated to recreate the era’s atmosphere. This approach provides insights and corroboration of historical events, illustrating the interplay between the Beatles and their environment.

Beatles60. We ain’t jumpin’ around! Our method, best characterized as “living in the history,” serves as a historical society more than a fan club, offering a diverse range of perspectives and fostering a community of scholars, musicians, journalists, and passionate fans.
