As part of the Sheffield Anarchist Archive, we do plan on putting stuff up online, though whether we scan in things like Raven is another issue, maybe once everything else is sorted.
Being a nerd, I recently purchased all 43 issues from freedom
I uploaded all the covers here - http://libcom.org/gallery/raven-anarchist-quarterly-front-covers-1987-2003.
Apart from the last few issues, electronic copies do not exist, unless someone has scanned them. I haven't seen any copies online.
At some point during the coming months I don intend of scanning them all, although it is a massive task, so may do one a week and see how it goes. Needless to say, when I get around to it I will be posting them on here.
There always used to be hundreds of copies of every issue at Freedom for some reason they wouldn't chuck them out...
I assumed it was in case the far right attacked again -- not even the most hardened bonehead could withstand being read to from a copy of The Raven for longer than 90 seconds.

yeah, that would be great if you could put them here as PDFs.
I have a complete set of them myself, but actually never read any of them as everyone always said they were shit!
When I was at Freedom, T had thousands of back issues of the Raven pulped, after we made an effort to get rid of them.
I have issue no. 3 (November 1987) which includes Colin Ward's essay 'The path not taken', some stuff on surrealism and fee-paying libertarian schools during the war, hence my (rash?) belief that they're not worth bothering with.
I saw, but unfortunately the one I'm after, issue 3, isn't there. I'm planning to pick up a copy when I'm in London. I'd be happy to scan it for the library when I do.

Also, how come you guys hate the Raven so much?

Basically a lot of people don't like it because most of the content is rubbish. At the time it was published, Freedom was mostly edited by liberal, individualist types. As an example of how crap they were, they didn't support the miners during the 1984-5 strike, describing them as a bunch of "extra-thick thickies" (for info for Americans, "thick" here means "stupid").
