About Us

The Anarchist Archive is devoted to the study of anarchism, with a special focus on the history of the movement in Canada.

History and Mandate

Founded in 2005 by Director Allan Antliff, the Anarchist Archive has a special mandate to collect and preserve anarchist-related materials, including posters, photographs, art work, videos, audio recordings, journals, pamphlets and zines, books, oral histories, correspondence (written and digital), organizational records, and other items.

The Anarchist Archive is a part of the University of Victoria Libraries.
