International Marxist Group Archive

The magazines, bulletins and booklets of the International Marxist Group and the groups that came before it, 1961–1984: 7,357 articles from 388 issues, to read in full or search, each linked to the scan it was read from.

The text was read by machine from scans held by the Marxists Internet Archive. The Bulletin and The Week were duplicated from typed stencils and their text is uncorrected; check the scan before quoting, and tell us about mistakes. The IMG’s newspapers (Black Dwarf, Red Mole, Red Weekly, Socialist Challenge, Socialist Action) will have an archive of their own.
