Digital Library Spotlights

Welcome to The Sparrows' Nest, Nottingham

It has been another busy month and we are delighted to present a bunch of new additions to the Digital Library, including numerous issues of Direct Action from the early years of DAM (Direct Action Movement), and all of the previously missing issues of local cartoon zine CIA (Cartoons Included Also). Dive in!

Although January is not over yet, we have been rather busy digitising new materials, and - given that the rest of the month is going to be filled with less fun tasks - we wanted you to have access to them as soon as possible. As usual there is a smattering of asssorted materials, but this time we have also added then a lot of previously unscanned issues of Freedom (for lots of other Volumes of Freedom please also the Freedom Newspaper Archive). In total we have added 110 issues (or 1,821 pages!) of Freedom from the mid to late 1970s and mid 1980s. Dive in!

And our final document of the year for 2019 is:

Please see below the list of documents added to our Digital Library in December. Once more many thanks to everyone who supported our endeavours this year, not least by making so many excellent sources available to us. Some of the materials listed below were digitised by request, please keep in mind that we are always very happy to be user led in our digitisation efforts, so please do not hesitate to get in touch!

This month we are travelling a bit further back than usual: Half a century ago, Solidarity published yet another volume in their pamphlet series spanning from the 1960s to the 1970s, this one about a strike at the GM plants in Flint, Michigan, back in the 1936-7.
