Anarchy 37
Greetings word-fans.
Aside from all the happenings we mentioned in our last posting, we continue to work on bringing the juiciest bits of the 1in12 Library to the wider world by way of our ten-year-old scanning equipment.
Incidentally, we’re aware that these aren’t truly our juicy fruits – the Anarchy magazines we’re currently scanning are all someone else’s work, and we hope the many authors in question, and their descendants (if they’re hoping for that 70-years worth of publishing royalties payola) will take a merciful view of our activities. It’s obvious that others have planned on scanning these journals (have a search on the internet and you’ll see) so we think – by placing them on the Internet Archive in an ad-free neutral zone – we’re doing something which is, on balance, beneficial. We have, at least, been in touch with the original publishers and got a warm tweet in response, so we intend to continue unless a genuine problem arises. Also – we think – the collectors who have left these publications to us probably would prefer that they were widely read rather than locked up in The Special Room.
The tweet of Freedom
So, to cut to the chase, we’ve now scanned issues 1 – 42 of Anarchy magazine, with three exceptions where we don’t (yet) have a copy of the magazine.
We’ve experimented a bit with resolution in the interests of speed and getting the job done – let us know if you think the later copies are noticeably worse than the early ones. We’ll be doing another batch in week or two so we value your feedback.
The files are all text-searchable PDFs (with the usual hilarious OCR errors – sorry) so we hope you’ll be able to make use of them.
Thanks again to Freedom Press – freedompress.org.uk – feedback to library@riseup.net
