A blog post about things which are missing, that can't be found online.
There's a longstanding thread on digital content that could/should be added to this site.
This post is about gaps, omissions, and missing items that can't be found online.
If you have access to any of them, leave a comment, or perhaps even scan them in and add them yourself...
This is by no means a complete list of what is missing from the Libcom archives and reflects my own interests and biases. Maybe also add a comment if you are also looking for things on Libcom and can't find them?
