Draft:The Anarchist Library

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Anarchist Library is an online archive of texts on anarchism, communism, socialism and related theory. "The library provides a high quality online web browser version of the text along with various other formats, like PDFs, plain text, HTML, EPUB, and XeLaTeX[1]." Users can download texts in various formats, as well as compile texts into custom 'books' via the 'Bookbuilder'.

The site is primarily in English, but there are versions in Bosnian, Spanish, French, Dutch, Danish, Russian, Italian, Macedonian, German, Swedish, Polish, Finnish, Turkish, Korean, Greek, Esperanto, and Portuguese[1]. A South-East Asian version of the site offers texts in Indonesian, Malaysian, Tagalog, Cebuano, Thai, Vietnamese, Burmese, Lao, Mandarin Chinese, and Khmer[2].

The Anarchist Library was created circa 2007, developed by participants in an anarchist IRC chat. It has approximately 7000 texts as of 2020[3].
