We have now processed our collections of Blag Flag periodicals.
Black Flag newspaper was founded by Albert Meltzer, Stuart Christie and others in 1970, incorporating the Bulletin of the Anarchist Black Cross (the Bulletin was eventually revived as an independent publication). Later it was kept going by a very determined Iain McKay (also the author of the Anarchist FAQ) with an editorial collective and contributors including the Anarchist Federation. For more information about the paper, please also see the Libcom archive.
Please note that some of these were already digitised a while back. The quality of a few of the older scans is not as good as our more recent ones. Some of these were done as a test batch back when we first experimented with our camera rig for oversized docs. Although the quality is perfectly fine, we could produce much nicer versions now, but alas - we have no time to rescan stuff as so many more items need our attention.

Missing issues
Our collections are extensive, but sadly not quite comprehensive. Due to the nature of the at times irregular publication schedule and the sometimes perplexing numbering system (#07f and suchlike!), there may be a few copies out there we do not even know we are missing, but we know we are still looking for: Vol:01 #01-03, #06-07, #10-12? | Vol:02 #10, #12-13 | Vol:05 #09 and possibly #14 (if that one existed) | Vol:06 #11 | Vol:07 #03a, #05d; #06a.
If you happen to have access to any of these and would be interested in either donating them or lending them to us for digitisation, we would be much delighted. Please just get in touch!
A few issues in our collections still need to be digitised (watch this space!): Vol:06 #04, Vol:06 #09, Vol:07 #01, Vol:07 #05a, #222, a May Day Special from the early 2000s and Black Flag Quarterly Vol:07 #03.
Black Flag 1960s-1970s
Please note the title of Vol:01 was Bulletin of the Anarchist Black Cross, which changed to Black Flag from Vol:02.
