News and events from The Sparrows' Nest.
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.
We are delighted to announce the return of Rosemary to the Nest, updating us on her fascinating research project.

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.
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.
