History section complete!

Right we've now shifted all of libcom.org/history from the old site to the new one, and it's all viewable here:
http://libcom.org/history
It's improved from the last site, with loads more pictures, interlinking and categorisation, and a couple of articles which didn't work on the last site now do.
We'll be tinkering with the index to make it look a bit nicer, adding a few bits and pieces but that's basically it now. We will also shortly be allowing users to submit content for moderation directly to it, like news and library.
We also have brand new content we've been saving up and will be posting over the next few days/weeks. So please feel free to take a look around, and post any comments and suggestions here.

Yeah, I did add in a load of biographies but I back-dated them so they didn't swamp the tags, so there may well be some you haven't read, and a lot of them are fucking great, about little-known people who really shouldn't be forgotten:

Spare time eh? That would be awesome. Something about the FORA might be quite timely... just a suggestion!

This was the way men dressed in Bulgaria at the time, so he didn't particularly stand out
I've seen another picture of him wearing a peaked cap in which he looks as hip and moody as Makhno does in that overcoat on the front cover of latest edition of Arshinov's History of Makhnovist Movement
