Thanks to a lovely volunteer our DocOfTheMonth feature is back!
An exhibition of photographs and local campaign materials at Broadway Cinema, in collaboration with People's Histreh, featuring photographs by Alan Lodge (Tash).
21st to 24th September 2023 – Free Event.
After the original slot could not go ahead due to a power outage at Broadway, we are very glad that new dates have now been confirmed!
Most of our final upload for 2022 are 161 issues of Freedom, (almost) everything we have from the first half of the 20th century.
Freedom is a London based anarchist newspaper, published by Freedom Press since 1886.
We have digitised 2,070 issues from our collections, which you can all access below.
The quality of the scans is as good as we can achieve with our current equipment/software. There were some challenges resulting in some warped and/or skewiff pages that could not be avoided, but all should be very comfortably readable. Please note that we digitised Vol:51 (1990) as a test batch back when we first experimented with our camera rig for oversized docs. Although the quality is perfectly fine, we could produce much nicer versions now, but alas - we have no time to rescan stuff as so many more items need our attention!
All issues feature good quality OCR. Any problems, dead links etc, please get in touch.
We added another 166 items to the Digital Library. Dive in!
