Welcome to The Sparrows' Nest, Nottingham
The first London Anarchist Bookfair
We recently had a request from the London Anarchist Bookfair to solve a mystery concerning when the first such event took place and where it was held. Long-term memories varied and the Bookfair collective were presented with various accounts, so they sought hard evidence from our newly acquired Freedom archive.

The Freedom Newspaper Archive
Freedom newspaper was founded in 1886 by Peter Kropotkin and his circle. It became one of the most important publications internationally. Its earliest editor was Charlotte M. Wilson 1886-1895, who largely financed it also. For a time in the 1930s there were two rival papers published as Freedom. Freedom then ceased as a title in favour of Spain and the World from 1936-1938. The name changed to Revolt, and from 1939 was continued as War Commentary. Freedom resumed in 1945 and was published until 2014, when it sadly folded except for a single issue put out for the London Anarchist Bookfair 2015.
