Body:

Started in 1957, CIRA is a place dedicated to memory, which lives thanks to the generosity of authors and publishers, and thanks to the work of dozens and dozens of people who devote their time and money to this work of preservation. CIRA collects the words and images of the anarchist movement, organizes them and catalogs them, giving everyone the opportunity to read them and see them. The catalog is online, and the CIRA publishes a bulletin every year. It also organizes, both in Lausanne and elsewhere (for example, Venice 1984), conferences on anarchism, and prepares bibliographies and other research tools to make access to anarchist history easier.

Resource URL:
http://www.lib.umich.edu/spec-coll/labadie/
Body:

The Labadie Collection was established in 1911 when Joseph Labadie, a prominent Detroit anarchist, donated his library to the University of Michigan. Although the collection was originally concerned mainly with anarchist materials (the field in which it remains strongest), its scope was later widened considerably to include a great variety of social protest literature together with political views from both the extreme left and the extreme right. Materials are now collected from all parts of the world. In addition to anarchism, the collection's strengths include: civil liberties (with an emphases on racial minorities), socialism, communism, colonialism and imperialism, American labor history through the 1930s, the IWW, the Spanish Civil War, sexual freedom, women's liberation, gay liberation, the underground press, and student protest.

Body:

The Kate Sharpley Library is dedicated to researching and restoring the history of the anarchist movement, and regularly publishes information on lost areas of anarchist history.
