Scanathons & scraping from the internet
https://archive.leftove.rs/
http://libcom.org/
scraped pdf series at bottom of page
archivesautonomies.org
post 68 radical left in France
Freedom press
scanned newspapers, their bookshop in London was firebombed a few years ago
Bigger institutions they took elements from
British Library, Spare Rib, Feminist Women's magazine
copyright is cleared
collection of small archives, important that they come together
hope that people can contribute their things to
Mother Grumble
70s magazine from North of England
Author group is often not filled in
Put group next to author
There is the Source + link to the source
social mouvements: one of the least filled out categories, is a minefield of categorization: discussion on namings
events
tactics that might be of interest: thinking about different tactics and did searching across the archives, inside the documents
associated groups: comrades, worked with...
antagonisms: what the material is in opposition to
they want the archive to become a ressource for politics
specific slang f.ex. Black Panther paper
looking for 'meetings with the police', they refer to the police as 'pigs oinking', not 'police speaking'
would it make sense to add a 'glossary'?
