Quote from Oxford Bibliographies in Sociology

[edit]

The Anarchist Library specializes in contemporary anarchist writing, though it also holds historical texts: the collection is constructed by free, open subscription, and it is fast becoming the most significant repository for anarchist scholarship. The collection is mainly, but not exclusively, English language.

Primary sources

[edit]

Precisely because of the ethic and structure of the website, texts hosted solely on TAL, or on its mirrors, or on its sister site (Anarchist News), are not appropriate as sources. Nor are the vast majority of blogs hosted by A/I (who facilitates *.noblogs.org -- the Anarchist Studies Blog being the notable exception.) In fact, seeing them used here is sort of strange to someone who has participated in all of these projects for years now. ANews is notoriously open with what it will publish and anyone can add an article with little vetting (part of its beauty). The same goes for TAL, which has less oversight than even a preprint server. wound theology 15:57, 20 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

Meh, I've preserved the critique on AnarWiki in case anyone ever wants to reconsider reinserting the info in some way: The Anarchist Library page on AnarWiki & the Talk Page. Taodoray (talk) 22:48, 28 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
