As you might expect, the Anarchist Archive<\/a> contains more than a few documents that offer helpful information on civil disobedience and more. Scanning materials from the various anarchist collections has been an interesting process as I find I have a wide range in my personal reaction to the contents. Each new collection brings with it a slightly different focus but I have started to see the connections between various groups and offshoots and those who collaborated and coordinated efforts.<\/p>\n

While some of the information and opinions printed in these materials is controversial, I stand behind the authors’ rights to have write, publish, and distribute the materials. I am very happy that Alan Antliff and the UVic Libraries have made this material available to scholars and the public at large, even if not everyone agrees with the sentiments expressed.<\/p>\n

I find it fascinating that, unlike the very old materials I have brought into the digital realm, these collections are from the recent past — certainly within my lifetime — and yet are just as far off the map to those who cannot access the original material. A number of the pamphlets, posters, and zines were printed in limited runs, or intended to be distributed and discarded; that they were collected and can now be documented is just as exciting to me as the publication of a 300 year old rare text.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
