You may have noticed that we have massively expanded our catalogue and especially the Digital Library over the last couple of years. As we have now digitised large collections of long running papers, journals, magazines etc. we will start putting together articles dedicated to individual publications and subjects, shining a spotlight on some of these materials.
We are delighted to announce the return of Rosemary to the Nest, updating us on her fascinating research project.

The Sparrows’ Nest anarchist library and archive was launched in Nottingham in December 2008. Ten years later, we look after tens of thousands of documents focussing on the history of anarchist groups and individuals in the UK and beyond as well as the history of other social movements in Nottingham and the wider area. Our work aims to preserve such records and to make them available to interested audiences, furthering an understanding of past struggles and aiding struggles fought today.
Many thanks to Jim Donaghey who visited us to talk about the Nest, its role in the local community, and the importance of documenting and sharing the history of anarchist movements. You can stream the audio interview directly from the AnarchistStudies.Blog.
