January 17th, 2018 (Spanish library)

Se ha publicado el texto «Viviendo mi vida», la autobiografía de Emma Goldman que fue recuperada a partir de dos PDFs en Scribd y rescatado por “Anarquismo en PDF”. La transcripción se hizo con la ayuda de Biblioteca Aukan.

De seguro el libro contiene erratas, por lo que te agradecemos si te das un tiempo y nos las puedes reportar, ya sea editando tú misma/o (dentro de la página del libro y luego click en el antepenúltimo icono “Edita este texto”) o enviándonos las correcciones al mail biblioanarquista [arroba] riseup [punto] net.

Como con todos los textos publicados en esta biblioteca, están disponibles varios formatos de descarga como PDF, ePub y otros. Recuerda también que lejos de quedar solo como libros electrónicos, tienes la posibilidad de imprimirlo y hacer tus propias versiones del libro para tu propia lectura, distribución o lo que se te ocurra.

Para esto último, puedes aprovechar la potencia del Creador de libros para el cual hace poco se ha creado y traducido un tutorial. Para este libro, lo más probable es que quieras crear dos libros, uno para cada “tomo” del libro (o también puedes imprimirlo en un solo volumen si prefieres, pero son alrededor cerca de mil páginas). El creador de libros no solo sirve para copias que vayan a ser impresas, sino que también puedes experimentar para crear tu propia versión digital. Si tienes dudas, siempre nos puedes contactar a través de mail, donde te podremos ayudar u orientar en lo que quieras hacer.

Además, ha visto la luz una nueva biblioteca hermana, esta vez en francés y disponible en https://fr.theanarchistlibrary.org. Puedes visitar el resto de bibliotecas en otros idiomas en el menú “Otros idiomas”.

September 2016 announcement (September 16th, 2017)

Announcing the Anarchist Library in the Danish language!

You can still find all of the libraries on torrent here, along with the magnet link. The previous announcements are located over on the wiki.

Library torrent (January 2016)

From the depths of January 2016 comes a new torrent of all 8 languages (including Swedish and German libraries for the first time) currently on The Anarchist Library. This torrent includes all of the various formats including plain PDF, A4 imposed PDF, letter imposed PDF, ePUB, HTML, XeLaTeX, plain text source, and source files with attachments that make reading texts from the library easily digestible on various mediums.

You can find the torrent file here:

https://theanarchistlibrary.org/extra/anarchist-libraries-2016-01-18.torrent

And the magnet link here.

This is a snapshot of the anarchist libraries as seen on January 18, 2016. If you are unfamiliar with torrents or don't have a favourite client, two options are qBittorrent and Transmission among the many.

Each archive is packaged as an ISO image. If you don't know exactly what to do with an ISO image, please visit: The library torrent for our how-to guide. You can mount the files on your computer to keep a copy of the library permanently (forever!), extract the files to another location, put them on your e-reader, or burn the ISO image to a set of discs that one could use to start a distro for example.

If you encounter any problem with this distribution or have other questions and comments about the library, please feel free to join the IRC channel #anarchistlibrary on Freenode servers or via web browser here

In other library news, the book builder feature has seen a huge update and is now more powerful than ever. These include:

running headers
cropmarks (this allows those of you who want to trim booklet the ability to do so with precision. It's also another step along the way for giving users the ability to start their own distro of wonderful anarchist literature.)
custom paper size (and B series)
new imposition schemas

And finally, thanks to Let's encrypt, all eight of the libraries now have valid SSL certificates, which means warning free https among other things.

An update from the Anarchist Library: Fall 2015

Getting old? or just the weather...

Greetings from the labyrinths of the library. The anarchist library project has been aging slowly with time and brushing the dust off of its pages by forking out into new and exciting paths. The project now provides texts in eight different languages. The German and Swedish language libraries are the most recent additions. The project also offers libraries in the Serbo-Croatian, Macedonian, Finnish, Russian, Spanish, and the English languages. As always, your participation in this project by helping upload and edit texts of interest to you is what helps make the archives wonderful.

Languages:

If you are interested in starting a new library in your native language (or one that you are highly fluent in), please contact us via email or by dropping by the IRC chat. We are willing to provide full support to help get your library project up and running.

Email: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/special/about

IRC: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/special/webchat (IRC etiquette means that we are not always there and often AFK IRL, so please have patience)

Social Media:

The library has also recently made a Twitter robot that automatically tweets out the newest editions and edits to the world. It's still in the beta stages, so please bear with it as a small foray into the world of robots and social media.

https://twitter.com/AnarchistLib

In other social media news, some of you may know that the library started a Facebook page years ago as well. It seems that this page, while generally disdained and neglected (and even hated) for some years by the librarians – has somehow become really popular. It now has almost 6,000 members in the public group (is this something to celebrate?). The page is meant as a tool for discussion and sharing of anarchist texts and not as a place for posting memes or heating up sectarian issues.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/262856644014/ (it's behind a wall and you must be logged in to view + added to group by mods)

Mirrors:

In place of having a torrent as we have done before in the past, friends have been kind enough to help provide a series of static website mirrors setup in case anything were to ever happen to the main servers. You can find them here:

http://mirror.anarhisticka-biblioteka.net/

http://mirror.anarhija.net

http://tal.bastardarchive.org/

http://tal.bolo-bolo.co/ (this mirror is beautiful, but not currently updated)

One is able to get the full batch of texts from the library a la the torrent by using tools for recursive downloading like wget for Linux, although we are unaware of any tools like this existing on Windoze.

How to help:

And on a closing note, the library is interested in searching out anarchist libraries IRL or AFK. While Infoshops are grand and play a vital role in the community, we are really looking for actual libraries or special collections that contain anarchist history. If you are aware of any anarchist special collections in the world please do let us know or help edit the wiki page on this subject (does a resource like this already exist?). It would be interesting information for those interested in research and finding lost gems in the anarchist canon on their travels.
