New additions to the Digital Library - January 2020

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!
