Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn&#39;t circulate online but in person. Anyway I&#39;ve put it back online with a *thousand* anarchist zines: https://zinelibrary.org

There's tons I've no doubt missed but, while I've tried to make it representative of every branch of anarchism, I did have some broad limiting editorial filters: 1) PDFs must be imposed. 2) PDFs must not be ugly. Which largely excludes bad scans and lazy layouts. But some exceptions were made.

@rechelon I found this collection several years ago while searching for an image of the "Stumpy The Bear" comic book I'd marked up in college. https://issuu.com/conflictgypsy Stumpy cartoon https://issuu.com/conflictgypsy/docs/truestorystumpybear

@rechelon I notice that for many of them you only have imposed PDFs. Would you find it useful to be able to un-impose them and make paginated PDFs in reading order? (I'm working on a Mac app for PDF imposition, I could easily add this feature, and could probably do it as batch processing if you'd find it useful.)

@rechelon the tags on the front page under each zine lead to a 404, just thought I'd report incase that was unintentional
