WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS.

          The Spirit of Revolt is a group based in Glasgow who are attempting to collect as much material as possible from grass-roots campaigns in working class struggle, in and around the Glasgow/Clydeside area. We are grateful for any donations of material that people may have accumulated over time from their friends/relatives or their own connections to/in campaigns/direct action experiences, our only stipulation is that it is not in any way linked to party political activity/material. Our aim is to create an archive/collection recording the history of working class struggle in the Glasgow/Clydeside area and make it easily accessible to the general public.

           We will be putting as much as possible on-line with a physical collection housed in the Mitchell Library. We feel that it is important to record this history as most of it will not be recorded in mainstream history and therefore will disappear. It is part and parcel of our history, it is part of working class culture, and if we fail to record it, it never happened and we become a people without a history, a people without a culture.

          In time and with your help, we are sure this will become the best resource of its kind in Scotland. A place where the next generation can keep in touch with the history of their parents and previous generations, and their struggles for a better world. A place where they themselves, can perhaps learn how to continue that struggle for that better world.

        We have had material donated from several sources, with others promised, and are very grateful to those groups and individuals, but are still eager for more material. I'm sure there are bundles of original material lying around in boxes, poly bags, in drawers and under the bed. Have a wee look around and see what you feel you can donate.
