Please find a list of our latest additions to our digital collections below.

We just added another 128 items to the Digital Library. A good chunk of this lot is for the Nottingham Radical History crowd, including some Socialist and Communist publications from the early to mid 20th century. In Anarchist history we have the usual mix of documents for you, which includes a lot of Wildcat from Manchester and Workers' Solidarity from Dublin. Dive in!

Our Document of the Month for July 2021 is... South Wales Sicko (#Cardiff, 1985ish), a satirical take on events during the 1984-5 Miners Strike.
