History.

         Spirit of Revolt for our July “Read of the Month” bring you a magazine from our KM Collection T SOR 4-1-138, Revolutionary Perspectives, No.21. Other issues of this magazine are also available to read on line at the same catalogue number, T SOR 4-1-138. While there take a wee while to browse through our extensive collection of anarchist and libertarian socialist history. Thousands of documents, magazines, photos, posters, letters, banners, memorabilia and lots more. If you enjoy what you find and think our history is worth preserving why not buy us a pint a month, by donating on our DONATE PAGE. Spirit of Revolt is run by a group of unpaid volunteers who give up precious time to keep, preserve and make easily available on line, a rich history that would otherwise be lost, our history of struggle.

History Remembered, A Future Glanced At.

                 Spirit of Revolt's event, on Saturday 10th of August, Spirit of Revolt-Showcase, in conjunction with Govanhill International Festival was a great success, a fair number of folks turned up and those who did were enthusiastic about our project and the material on display, also good to meet old friends. On display was lots of photos, posters, papers and rare pamflets, books CD's, plenty of material relating to the South side of Glasgow and further a field. Material from The Pollok Free State motorway battle, Castlemilk claimants union, poll-tax, Guy Aldred's The Word, and much much more, a grand slice of Glasgow's radical history. All the material is available for viewing at our Archive in The Mitchell Library, also we have put a considerable amount of the archive on line for easy access for the general public, just visit our website https://spiritofrevolt.info and browse your own history, not that of the kings of industry, monarchs, and military darlings of the the system.
                So a big thank you to all those who made it happen and a double thank you to all those who turned up, and a bigger thank you for your enthusiasm, you help us to realise we are doing the right thing in recording this part of history that is all too often lost and forgotten. For those who didn't manage to the event, you can still see lots of Glasgow's radical history by visiting our website, https://spiritofrevolt.info 

           

        Some photos from the event.

 

Great when old friends turn up.
