The libcom library archiving Christmas wish list!

Well, it's the holiday season, here is a wish list of content we would like archived on libcom.org over the next year, if anyone felt like giving us a present! [Article from Christmas 2009, now out of date]

Submitted by libcom on December 15, 2009

Of course we still want any new content, or any texts not currently online scanned in. This type of thing would be a priority, but is not something which everyone can do. So here is a list of other websites whose content we would like duplicated on libcom.org.

We think it is worth duplicating content elsewhere on the net on libcom.org for several reasons. Firstly, libcom is one of the world's most popular revolutionary/anarchist websites, so any content is likely to be read more here than on a smaller site. Secondly, content on our site appears highly in Google rankings, so articles posted here are more likely to be found and read by casual browsers. Thirdly, we are the biggest online anarchist/libertarian communist library, and so have big archives of related texts and background articles which can be linked to new additions. Finally, we have a good, sound and stable collective of administrators, editors, contributors and donors, so our website is much less likely than most to go down or be deleted. This happened to many anarchist/communist websites hosted on geocities recently - fortunately many of them were archived on libcom.org as outlined here. Furthermore, our site is shortly due to be archived permanently by the British Library, so whatever happens content posted to libcom.org will be available in perpetuity.

So here is our Christmas list of websites, in rough order of priority.

With these websites, generally we would want to prioritise hosting historical articles, with theoretical articles as a lower priority. As a general note, we would probably have a majority of the articles from these websites hosted on libcom.org anyway, and probably only a small minority would actually need copying over. For the time being, we are only interested in hosting the articles which are in English.

These are the main websites whose articles we would like archived on libcom.org:
List of websites now removed. Many were done, any still remaining will be put in a new, updated archiving thread to avoid confusion. January 2011.

Can anyone think of any others that we should archive as well? If so please post up here so we can edit them in.

If you would like to help us out with any of this, please say here below or drop one of us a private message. We can provide any assistance required, and any problems you can post up in our feedback/content forum for assistance from admins or some of our users.

So, any volunteers?

If there's any academic articles that you'd like archived give me the reference and I'll make an effort to go through them one by one and import the text. Hosting reprints are usually fine after a year as long as normal referncing procedure is followed as far as i know.

How about archiving Processed World? (http://www.processedworld.com/)

Almost 35 issues of content similar to "the diary of the shirking temp", the faceless struggle articles and histories of people organizing in the service industry in Bay Area, California. Not everything on PW site is worthwhile, but there are some real gems there.

Reading Processed World has kept me sane while counting my hours in a cubicle.

Also it looks like that site is well maintained and will remain online for a while, but it makes sense to have some of those articles here for the reasons you explained.

I could do the work of importing them if the editors think it is worth it.

Here's the intro to the first issue from 1981: http://www.processedworld.com/Issues/issue01/01hello.html

yeah, a lot of that stuff looks good - anarchy.no however, no way! It is a nonsense website filled with disinformation and plain lunacy - it claims that Sweden had an anarchist revolution a few years ago, and is now 70% anarchy and things like that.

With abolishing borders from below, most of the content probably wouldn't be that appropriate, but the odd individual article could be good, about particular aspects of class struggle, a particular strike or something like that.

finally finished Prol-Position, that was a marathon, I didn't realise how much stuff there was!

Now have made a start on the John Gray archive, this doesn't look so bad as there aren't that many texts actually on the site, most of them are links to external texts. However, a fair few of them are quite long. I'm going through the "texts on this site" section, starting at the bottom and working up, so if anyone else wanted to do any John Gray feel free, but probably best to start from the top down.

in doing this, I noticed that the whole of the old subversion site is still online, as GeoCities got backed up - on reocities:

This started last year - but now there are only 109 shopping-for-texts days till next Christmas; Anthony Barnett's thing in New Left Review on the early 70s UK strikes is interesting (though obviously flawed, given his perspective) - but it has to be bought from here.
Also Josef Weber's The Great Utopia.
Also the whole of Ciliga's "Russian Enigma" (only Chapter 9 of Book 3 is in the library) - but it's very long, and scanning will take ages.
Also, Berkman's Prison Memoirs Of An Anarchist. But maybe links are enough for texts that already exist online...?

Hey, sorry if there is any confusion. I was thinking about doing a new post starting from scratch, but thought I might wait until the end of this year.

I have tried to edit the first post to make it clear, but I will try to explain it more clearly here.

The links at the bottom are ones that have been done already. Here are the ones which we would still like duplicated. The first set of sites I think we would like pretty much everything. The second set people could pick and choose particular decent texts, as the quality of some of it may be mixed.
Archive pretty much everything
collective action notes - http://redemmas.org/collective_action_notes/
http://home.earthlink.net/~lrgoldner/ - break their haughty power
http://www.processedworld.com/home.html
www.classagainstclass.com (currently offline - many texts here however: http://reocities.com/cordobakaf/)
http://www.nestormakhno.info/english/index.htm
kurasje - http://www.kurasje.org/
http://gurgaonworkersnews.wordpress.com/

Decent, relevant content to be archived:
www.insurgentnotes.org
www.midnightnotes.org
www.revoltagainstplenty.com
http://www.againstsleepandnightmare.com/
http://digitalelephant.blogspot.com/ - any good, mainly historical or factual texts

Many, if not most of the articles on the above sites will be on libcom already, so it would just be any individual articles that are not already here.

Is this a bit more clear?

Your assistance in copying any of them over would be much appreciated!

excellent, thanks.

I did some of it, Django did some as well so might be worth dropping him a line to see how far he got, so you don't have to search libcom for every article to see if it is here already

just found this site which looks like it might have loads of amazing stuff, but it is organised really badly!

Would be great to copy a load of it here, in particular this book:

hi, that would be great.

No, have done some of it but the book is pretty big. I am happy to finish it off next week though. Have also done History of the Makhnovist movement from there, but nothing else so it would be great if you could have a look through. I'm not sure if there is much other good stuff in there, I didn't have a proper look

Yeah it's scattered. Seems like a mixed bag of pieces already on here, classical progressive stuff and other writings that would be relevent. One of the things I got out of there is that 'militarisation of the militias'.

I just also got a stack of an Iowan radical underground newspaper from the 70s that I'm typing relevant pieces into the library as well.

EDIT: How about this? http://www.ditext.com/avrich/7.html

To me it seems like somewhat of a hatchet job, but I'm not entirely clear on the history so I'm not sure.

Mate, that's excellent, thanks.

That biography doesn't look like a hatchet job, looks like a pretty good, balanced one to me, so it would be cool if you could post it up, and use your discretion with the rest of the stuff. If/when you reckon we have all the decent stuff from that site in here just say on this thread and I will remove it from the list. Cheers!

Been slow with compiling some from that ditext website. Much of the stuff is just links to Anarchy Archives. That site doesn't seem to be going anywhere, so I bypassed that stuff in favor of pieces that were directly hosted by the site. I'm putting links on here for easier access for myself to add to the library after lookin through them more thoroughly.

Ooh, that shit does look good.. just a quick reminder though, make sure you check that we don't already have some of that on the site (for instance, we've already got 'The State: Its Historic Role' and 'The Struggle Against the State and Other Essays' in the library)..

Cheers for all the help though!

This is all that's left from the ditext site. The rest of the list, I've added or looked through and noticed many missing chapters, somewhat wide availability on the net already or just didn't seem right for libcom.

Is the list in the blog post still accurate? Are some of those sites finished or being done by others? Are there additional sites? Maybe a new post or thread is needed....

Yes, the list in the blog post above is still accurate. I have updated it to put ones which have been completed at the bottom. But yes, I think more generally a new post is needed. I will probably do it in the New Year. Cheers!

That's great, thanks! Actually, that was on the list, but I guess I thought it was mostly done.

By the way, did collective action notes get finished? Or did you get a bit bored of it? (I would understand if you did!) If the latter, no worries, I or someone else will get to it.

I am shutting down this thread now, as it is pretty old and confusing.

I will start a new archiving thread soon. Thanks again to everyone for all your help, we have got loads of stuff done. In 2010 we had nearly 2000 new articles added to the site, the vast majority of them not by site administrators, and we saved many articles and indeed whole radical websites from being lost.

Still, there is still lots more we can do in the future!
