Welcome back to our Document of the Month feature, showcasing some of the awesome documents in our collections.

This month we are featuring one of our new additions to the Digital Library:

Virus #01 (c1984)

The first issue of the anarchist journal written by Colin Parker (1948-2015) that ran for 13 issues (the complete set is digitised). It was adopted as the collectively produced magazine of the Anarchist Communist Federation (ACF, now Anarchist Federation/AF) and changed its name to Organise! from issue 14 onward.
