Kate Sharpley Library Comrades and Friends —
No doubt some of you will be aware of the work of the Kate Sharpley Library and Documentation Centre, which has heen in existence for the last eight years. In 1991 the Library was moved from a storage location in London to Northamptonshire, where we are now in the process of creating a database of the entire collection. At the same time, a working group has been formed to oversee the organisation and running of the Library. The catalogue of the Library material will be published by AK Press (Edinburgh).
The Library is made up of private donations from comrades, deceased and living. It comprises several thousand pamphlets, books, newspapers, journals, posters, flyers, unpublished manuscripts, monographs, essays, etc., in over 20 languages, covering the history of our movement over the last century. It contains detailed reports from the IWA (AIT/IAA), the Anarchist Federation of Britain (1945-50), the Syndicalist Workers Federation (1950-1979) and records from the anarchist publishing houses, Cienfuegos Press, ASP and others. Newspapers include near complete sets of Black Flag, Freedom, Spain and the World, Direct Actions (from 1945 onwards), along with countless others dating back 100 years. The Library also has a sizeable collection of libertarian socialist and council communist materials which we are keen to extend.
The Kate Sharpley Library is probably the largest collection of anarchist material in Englsuid. In order to extend and enhance the collection, we ask all anarchist groups and pubhcations worldwide to add our name to their mailing list. We also appeal to all comrades and friends to donate suitable material to the Library. All donations are welcome and can be collected. The Kate Sharpley Library (KSL) was named in honour of Kate Sharpley, a First World War anarchist and anti-war activist — one of the coimtless “unknown” members of our movement so ignored by “official historians” of anarchism. The Library regularly publishes lost areas of anarchist history.
