An Introduction

I am writing my third year university dissertation on anti-fascism in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. I’ve been privileged enough to been given access to a wealth of images and literature which I thought I would share for everyone to see. The thesis will be finished by the 24th April 2012.

This blog will be a nice little archive of the material I’ve received before they go back to their owners. I think it’s important that there is a central archive of the anti-fascist material published by organisations such as Anti-Fascist Action and Red Action so that all can see them and this small part of history won’t be lost.

If you have any images, literature, stickers or thoughts please send them to: antifascistarchive@gmail.com
