“Glasgow’s working class history is a history of struggle and sacrifice not found in the school curriculum. The establishment would rather we forget our own past and deny the suffering and sacrifice of those who created that history. This site is dedicated to remembering and recording their selfless struggle for a better life for all. Add your stories to this site and record Glasgow’s radical history here so that we and future generations can learn from and carry forward that radical tradition.”
“The Spirit of Revolt Archive, based in Glasgow, is dedicated to collecting, managing and preserving multi-media records from Glasgow’s and Clydeside’s anarchist and libertarian-socialist past and present. It was constituted in August 2011 and today its records form part of Glasgow City Archive’s collections whilst the Archive maintains its independence. Our material will remain in the ownership of the Spirit of Revolt group. The Archive is located at Glasgow’s Mitchell Library and its material is accessible in the Reading Room.”
“City Strolls has been hopefully serving a useful community function for the last 10 years. During that time the site has hosted events, updates and community activities. The quote “This is the city and I am one of its citizens. Whatever interests the rest interests me, politics, wars, markets, newspapers, schools, the mayor and councils, banks, tariffs, steamships, factories, stocks, stores, real estate and personal estate.” by Walt Whitman still encompasses to me what are the essential ingredients to life in the city (or anywhere).”
