An anarchist in the archive : Remembering Barry Pateman by John Patten 'For Barry anarchism was all about getting to anarchy, and anarchy was all about everybody being able to realise their full potential. He warned about what we lose if ‘we raid the anarchist past to justify the anarchist present’.' https://www.katesharpleylibrary.net/w0vwm5

Barry Pateman: An Appreciation by Martin H. 'Barry was brimming with ideas, whether about anarchist history, theory and practice, sport or wider culture' https://www.katesharpleylibrary.net/c2ft1b

Remembering Ron Marsden (1937-2026) 'The tributes we’ve read talk about his long track record as an anarcho-syndicalist in the Syndicalist Workers’ Federation, Direct Action Movement and Solidarity Federation. They also emphasise how approachable he was'. https://www.katesharpleylibrary.net/cnp7kn

They inspired the Bristol Radical History Group #5 – Ian Bone by Roger 'Funny as always, he introduced us to books like the The World Turned Upside Down and The making of the English working class. If you had only done history at school in the 1970s, then these opened our minds to a whole new world. I was hooked and the rest is history.' https://www.katesharpleylibrary.net/ncjw81
