Spunk Library - Anarchist internet information sources

Updated: 4-Oct-1999

The sites here are ordered by their main information content, but will often contain other stuff as well. Sites that support FTP or Gopher only are listed separately at the bottom.

General anarchist text collections (WWW)

Spunk Library: Main website: http://www.spunk.org/; Netherlands: http://www.cwi.nl/cwi/people/Jack.Jansen/spunk/Spunk_Home.html
If you are reading this contact sheet on paper: the latest version can be found at http://www.cwi.nl/cwi/people/Jack.Jansen/spunk/Spunk_Resources.html
The Seed: http://web.cs.city.ac.uk/homes/louise/seed2.html
Contact: Louise Schuller <L.Schuller@city.ac.uk>
This is a collection of activist resources, similar to this list but with a lot of things not mentioned here, and there's other things as well, newsbulletins, etc.
Nadir Archive: http://www.nadir.org/
A large archive of German texts on social and political movements, and they are working on other languages as well. Maintained by Infogruppe Hamburg.
Anarchy Archives: http://calvin.pitzer.edu:8080/~dward/Anarchist_Archives/archivehome.html
Similar to Spunk Press, and there is quite a bit of overlap in documents too, but also stuff Spunk Press doesn't carry. The organization of the site (and the layout of the pages) is probably also quite a bit better than ours...
Emma Goldman Papers: http://sunsite.Berkeley.EDU/Goldman/
Freedom Press, London: http://web.cs.city.ac.uk/homes/louise/freehome.html
Samizdat: http://www.anet.fr/~aris/
"Le premier serveur alternatif en français". Information on ECN, Anti-facist groups, etc.

The site also contains other documents critical of libertarian doctrine. Though there is no real anarchist slant to the info here, it's a good counterbalance for the various anarcho-capitalist sites on the net.
The Memory Hole: http://alumni.umbc.edu/~akoont1/tmh/; Items on anarchism and related issues, plus links to other interesting sites.
