Doing some work on anarchists publications from europe, and came across Fanal by Erich Muhsam, http://a-bibliothek.org/?p=3537 too bad my german sucks. Anyone else know where I can find historical archives for anarchists pubs?

If you're in the UK, members of the anarchist federation run The Sparrows' Nest, which is a library of anarchist publications. I'm not sure if they've got everything online, but if you can get to Nottingham, it's a pretty cool place.

They have done some digitisation: http://thesparrowsnest.org.uk/index.php/digital-library

Their archive is fairly extensive, so if you can get there, it's worth it.

Lol

"Please note that despite the total of ~1,700 digitised documents, amounting to ~13,000 pages of awesome stuff, our guesstimate is that this is only about three percent of the materials held at the Nest."

Other places in the UK worth contacting are Mayday Rooms (http://maydayrooms.org/), 56a (http://www.56a.org.uk/), and Bishopsgate Library (http://www.bishopsgate.org.uk/content/1016/Bishopsgate-Institute-Archives). But once again there is a lack of digitization.

What time period are you looking at?

thanks for the replies, all of this was helpful (too bad im in the states); one day it would be great to consolidate online the historical ephemera, magazines, etc of the anarchists movement
