It is our pleasure to contribute to an upcoming local event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 1968 Revolts. Please see below for a number of excellent source materials regarding the 1968 Revolts, including some local leaflets (we were super excited that these could be found!), all instantaneously available from our ever growing Digital Library.
It’s been a while since we added to the links and friends section of the Nest website but we are about to make up with it with a tale of books, birds and both.
Our comrades at the awesome Bibliothek der Freien in Berlin have published a new list of freely accessible digitized anarchist journals/newspapers on the internet.
Happy browsing!
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 later revived as an independent publication). It has been kept going most recently by a very determined Iain McKay (also the author of the Anarchist FAQ) with an editorial collective and contributors including the Anarchist Federation. As such it remains one of the longest running and most significant anarchist publications in Britain. Can you help us complete the collection? Those of you who have helped already thank you very much! Last updated 29th May 2017 with 6 previously missing issues.
A partial digital archive of Black Flag issues can be found on LibCom, other partially scanned issues can be found in our Digital Library (they are tricky to digitise because of their size and shape, but we will get there). Watch this space for an immanent scan of our current collection of Vol 1 (known only as Bulletin of the ABC) & Vol 2 in the period 1969-1973.
